Trying to figure out what Type this Stanley No 8
Number 8.jpgnumber 8 a.jpgnumber 8 b.jpg is.
Pick it up at a flea market this past weekend cheap. It's missing the blade, chip breaker, and the top of the Frog is cracked off, no lateral lever, the back handle was cracked and repaired. But the front knob and Lever Cap is good very little rust.
Under the handle is the letter “B” in the casting and the lever cap has a B but the frog has no B on it. Type 8?
No date on the Brass Adjustment Knob
No patent dates on the bed
The plane number is half way between the knob and front.
I think Type 8
What parts are compatible with this plane? Can I use a frog from another size plane like #7?
Thanks, Jacob
