Creator of TimeTestedTools.net. I've been collecting restoring, researching, and writing about and now trying to reduce my collection of vintage hand planes and other vintage tools. I'm also on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@timetestedtools. https://www.amazon.com/author/donwilwol
Bedrock Type 1/2 #4 1/2 Smoother
I used this type study https://virginiatoolworks.com/tools/stanley-planes/bed-rock-type-study/ Type 1 Beds marked with Bailey model numbers (Nos.2 to 8.) Space below “PAT’D APR. 2. 95” was milled out at the factory S casting mark on bed (a single raised dot on some specimens) Frogs & Lever Caps have “B” casting marks Lateral lever has two patent dates “10-21-84 & 7-24-88” STANLEY R & L CO…BED ROCK on lever caps, Q trademark stamp on most irons 1898
Type 2 7-24-88 is the only patent date on the lateral adjustment lever 1898-1899
I cannot tell how many patent dates were on the lateral adjustment lever. More photos https://www.timetestedtools.net/bedrock/bedrock-type-1-2-4-1-2-smoother/
