Stanley Handyman 1203 (#3 sized) Smoothing Plane

Stanley Handyman 1203 (#3 sized) Smoothing Plane. Handyman tool line replaced the Defiance line in the lae 50's and was produced up till the early 70's. They where homeowner grade tools, but do make a good user plane with some tuning. I have not found any info on how to date these tools yet, but I think this may be from the 60's, maybe later 60's. But I am just guessing. Has some paint on it that I should had cleaned off before listing, but...

I have done nothing to this plane, it is how I got it. I bought out a large collection of planes recently and this is part of that bunch. Keep an eye on my listings as I will have about 50 planes that I will be listing over the next few weeks as well as some other items..
