Good Afternoon everyone!
I have a modest collection of Stanley planes that are users to me. It was mostly coincidence that the initial few planes I purchased were type 11s or earlier. However after having them and trying out older types, I found them to be much more pleasurable to use, and started seeking them out somewhat exclusively.
I've had a more difficult time finding a low-knob No. 5 1/4. Was the production of this model started after the type 11 era? I have a friend who will sell me a 5 1/4 at a pretty good price that is a type 16
Thanks!
Mike
