Stanley #4 Type 8 Hand Plane Corrugated Sole
Details
I'm calling this a type 8 because of the B casting marks on the frog and lever cap. The bed has the S casting mark usually found on a type 7. Knowing how Stanley always used up older model parts on newer models I could see how this plane could have come out of the factory like this. Also, could be someone cracked their type 8 bed and just replaced it with the type 7 bed. This plane has the corrugated sole. There is some pitting on the sole from the mouth to the toe. It has the Q logo iron and it is sharp. The blade has some good length left also. The tote has a nicely repaired crack and it is solid. The mouth is good no cracks or alterations.
