Well, I thought this was a Stanley Bailey No 4. I've had it for months and months. Had it in my hands more than a few times and only recently noticed that it is not marked Stanley and/or Bailey. It has "Made in USA" between the frog and the tote. "No 4" on the toe. The lever cap is from a Stanley Handyman so I don't believe it is original to the plane. The iron is a Stanley but of a more recent vintage stamped with the notched rectangle, "H1204(12-204)" and then "Made in U.S.A.". The frog is ogee shaped with no numbers to be found anywhere on the frog. Finally, the lateral adjustment lever has no "Stanley" stamped on it and it has a whale tail. Let me know if the pics don't answer any questions you might have. Knowing Union was bought by Stanley and given the whale tail lateral adjustment lever I was thinking Union but it's probably too recent. I have no idea when the last Union plane was still a purchase option. It looks and feels like a Stanley. I can't find anything like this one on the Plane Dating Flowchart on hyperkitten. Thoughts?
Thanks for any help!
