What is this plane?
Did I buy something that I can use?
I only paid a total of $17.50 shipped so if I did something stupid it's not the end of the world. If I DID do something stupid by buying it, you can say it, don't worry about it. It won't be the last time. :D :D :D
Thanks very much for your help and advice.

Looks like you did just fine--nearly gloatable in fact. Good job!
All together now, "Slip slidin' away..."
Take care, Mike

Mark,
It looks like a #4 smooth plane to me. If the blade is 2" wide and there's a Stanley mark anywhere, it's VERY likely a #4.
If it's another manufacturer (like Millers Falls or Sargent), I can't help with the model number, but the function will be the same. (they are fine as well).
Actually, the more I think about it, it looks Stanley to me because of the depth adjustment wheel.
As for vintage, I'm not so versed in that, but I thik it might be a later model with painted hardwood knob & tote - judjing from the shape of the tote (instead of rosewood).
If the lettering on the levercap is orange and the hold in the levercap is kidney-shaped, it's definitely a "later, rather than early" model.
In any case, should be a great user. Enjoy.
Hope that helps,
-Mike

Uhhhhhh....Mark, hate to break this to you but, you got ripped off! :( That poor old tool doesn't even have a power cord on it! Heck, I can't even spot a place for a battery pack! :rolleyes: Better luck next time! :D :cool:

Nice score, but while you're at it you'd better add a vac port too. It's either that or upgrade to a Festool hand plane.:D
