Hi,
Could anyone identify this frog . I think it's a Stanley no 4 but it has a flat base.
Cheers

Looks like an early Bedrock frog.

yes i wondered that. but the lever cap that came with it is unmarked name wise, although that could be a marriage of course. The frog has "A and 4" stamped on it and the l/c has "B and 4" stamped on it so I'm inclined to think they come together. hmmmmm. Thanks for the link though Steve. Useful in the future.:2tsup:

Does it have Stanley printed on it anywhere - eg the lateral adjustment lever?
I can't tell from the picture but it doesn't seem to have the ways cut into the sides of the frog base.
If not a Stanley then maybe a Keen Kutter K series that also had the sloped bed and frog.
Here is a pic of the ways cut into the lower edges of a Bedrock frog.

hi scrib,
No there are no ways(if by this you mean channels on either side of the base) The Lat adj lever is to rusty to see a name on it although I thought I saw a Y.
probably have to stay a mystery.
