Stanley #5 Type 11 Plane Smooth Sole T Logo Iron 3 Pat. Dates on Bed Sharp
Details
Up for sale is a Stanley #5 type 11 hand plane. This one has the smooth sole. It has the T logo iron with a lot of blade left. The Japanning was very spotty so I stripped it off and re-Japanned it using Stanley's original factory recipe and baked it 5 times. I think it looks great. The rosewood tote and knob have their original patina and are sharp. I have sharpened the iron going through the grits up to 8000 and it is razor sharp. The tote has a nicely repaired crack that you wouldn't know was there if I hadn't mentioned it. The sole has some dark staining and it is flat.
