Superb Early Stanley No. 4 Smoothing Plane – Two Patent Dates on the Bed
A superb early Stanley No. 4 smoothing plane featuring two patent dates cast into the bed, a hallmark of the desirable early production period. This example is in solid, well‑preserved condition with excellent rosewood—clean, rich, and correct for the era.
The plane retains its “Patent Applied For” long iron, and the lateral lever carries a single patent date, another proper early feature.
A fine early No. 4 with all the right characteristics—ready for the bench or the display shelf.
