HI WC

is the plane a Stanley, Record or another make?

It looks a bit like a Stanley #103 which is a low angle block

picture sourced from http://www.supertool.com/StanleyBG/stan12.htm#num103

or a #110

Based on the shape of the lever cap, the pane was made in the 2nd half of the 20th century.

My father had one similar which he described as "was never much good" compared to his #4½, #5, and $7.

If you are looking to get one for yourself, there are much better options.

If you just need to describe it for a portfolio, measure the bedding angle to see if it is
~12° -- low angle -- which gives a cutting angle of about 37°, or
25° -- normal angle -- which gives a cutting angle of about 50°

Looks to me like a late-model 110, or a clone, with a non-standard blade. There is no need for a slot in the blade for 110s because the lever cap is held by the cross-pin, not a screw.

These are your most basic block planes to be sure, but can work well enough. I still have mine, bought in 1957, and it still gets some use, despite the stable of somewhat more sophisticated planes I have to choose from....
