The plane was blue the cap was gold it was abbout 16 to 18 inches long priced at $59.00us.everything moved nothing froze up,the blade was stamped
Birmigham,England it looked good not alot of rust but is nickedup good.

There is a highly collectable Birmingham plane with a skeletonized metal handle (whole planes are black) but I am guessing yours looks like a Stanley Bailey???

The only Bailey type plane I would buy made in the UK is Record/ Marples (blue or red) or Edward Preston (green) I can think of off the top of my head..
