Stanley #5 Type 7 Plane Corrugated Sole "S" Casting Marks Tuned Sharp
Details
Up for sale is a super nice Stanley #5 type 7(1893-1899) hand plane. This one has the corrugated sole. This is the first type with the corrugated sole. I have re-Japanned the bed using Stanley's factory recipe and baking it on low heat 5 times. I have sharpened the iron going through the grits up to 8000. I have also lapped the lever cap and the chip breaker to fit tight to the blade. The sole is flat. The rosewood tote and knob are in great shape and show their original patina. The tote is crack free. The knob has a hair line crack that doesn't go from top to bottom. The bed and frog have the S casting marks and the lever cap has a B casting mark. Probably came from the factory like that as Stanley was known to use up older part first before switching over to type correct parts. Stanley had nothing to do with typing the planes.
