OH MY!!! That is a very rare Stanley prototype for a bench bullnose plane! (or maybe just an amputee)

Looks like it would be perfect for me -- I broke a bone Monday in my left wrist, so the front knob would superfluous for many weeks to come. Maybe it's just for shortcuts? :lol:

Don't know but you have certainly got me interested in the answer. Doesn't look like a very effective plane.

Dang.......they done lapped the toe off of that there plane. Are they selling it for half off?:lol:

OK, I am heading to B&G to see what I can find out about it.

Almost looks like a 10 1/2 Carriage Maker's rabbet plane with the front knocked off of it.

Naw... I think that this tool most likely started life as a No 4. Since it has two patent dates, that narrows it down to a type 9 or 10. If it has a frog adjustment screw (can't tell from this angle) that would put it at a type 10, since that feature first appeared in the type 10's. Doesn't matter, though, since the bed is ruined! It's been broken in half and ground down to a smooth edge. :lol:

Can't tell what vintage the frog is, since you can't see the shape of the top arch (or whether is has a frog adjustment screw). The lever cap, cap iron & blade look pretty good, though. The lever cap is even the un-embossed kind, which puts it at type 12 or earlier. The tote would be nice if it didn't have a giant crack right in the middle!

It does kind of look that picture of a 10½ on B&G, but those rabbet planes have a blade that's shaped kind of like a "T" on the end, with the width of the blade extending out on each side to the very edge of the plane. Not so with this one... :-?

Good lord ebay sucks.

There are also the ebay plane fairies...their job is to during the night take the blade out of every plane offered on ebay, grind a bevel that is not even close to straight, turn half of it purple, beat the newly ground bevel with the blunt side of a machete, then return it to the plane.

I know they exist because about every plane I ever bought on ebay has been that way.
