Yesterday, I acquired a BedRock 605 with the rounded sides in decent condition..Tonight as I started dissassembling for cleaning, I noticed an unusual (to me) frog feature...
In the past, all the Bedrocks I had encountered used the 2 bolts at the rear of the frog that fastened the frog solidly to the sole....This one has the conventional vertical bolts in the middle/top/inside of the frog (like Bailey's)...at first I was concerned that this was not an authentic BedRock...But then, it seems to me in my fading memory, Stanley did not incorpate this unique two bolts in rear of frog approach for tightening in its initial BEDROCK models.... Please tell me this is so...wouldn't be first time I've been fooled!!
The body is clearly marked 605...The lever cap says BEDROCK and there is one patent date.
Let me know your thoughts ...And I'll continue (maybe)with the restoring...Thanks in advance.
