Yesterday I picked these up from an older gentleman who was selling this set of hand planes that belonged to his uncle. He was selling these and his uncles wooden tool chest full of tools ($1000 for the chest) all of which were used to build his uncles house on his farm in Washington.
He was asking $150 and I gave him $160 cuz I didn't have change..
Included
Stanley Rule & Level #78 Rabbet plane
Millers falls #17 Adj. mouth block plane
Stanley #4 type 7
Stanley #4 Defiance ?? (help ID?)
Stanley #5 type 7
Stanley #5 type 15
Stanley #7 type 7
Stanley #7 type 10
#8 Jointer Stanley/Union/Ohio?? (help ID?)
The planes are mostly in great condition only one has any rust on it worth mentioning and the type 7 #5 has a chipped lever cap.. Otherwise these are all solid and ready for cleaning and fettling.. most with much or most of their japanning left. So they were kept relatively protected for the most part..
The seller checked eBay and knew he was letting em go cheap .. I think he just wanted em out of his garage..
As for me I was really interested in the #78 and the #8. otherwise these are duplicates so i'll likely move them on at some point after fettling and using em. maybe one will unseat one of my current users.
Anyhow here are pics.

#78 - this one's in great condition.. with just some slight surface rust on the knob and top of blade.. Im real happy about finding a nice old one that is complete!

Here are some pics of the no. 8 I'm hoping to identify.
From my research it seems that the main casting might be a Stanley type 6?? with a frog from another maker ( or defiance?) .. the chip breaker shows baileys patent on it and the blade seems to have R&L markings on it.. The lateral lever is not typical stanley.. Also not sure the wood is Rosewood..
