Superb Stanley No. 4 C Corrugated Bottom Plane – 3 Patent Dates, SW Iron.

A fine example of Stanley’s craftsmanship, this No. 4 C smoothing plane features a corrugated sole, three patent dates cast into the bed ahead of the rear tote, and a Sweetheart-era iron—a combination that places it squarely in the Type 11 range, circa 1910–1918.

• Corrugated Bottom: Preferred by many for reduced friction, especially on resinous woods
• Triple Patent Dates: Adds historical authenticity and helps date the tool to a prized production window
• Sweetheart Iron: Long logo variant, indicative of early 1920s manufacture, lightly cleaned and oiled
• Japanning: Appears enhanced on the rear bed—likely touched up for preservation, with over 95% coverage remaining
• Condition: Crisp castings, tight rosewood tote and knob, and a clean sole ready for use or display

A true blend of utility and collectibility, this plane is ideal for the bench or the shelf.
