    Default Any online Stanley Plane Reference Sites?

    I recently acquired a small block plane made in England. I think it's a G12-220, but am not sure. Are there any online sites I could use to find out for sure?
    I'll include a few pictures in case you are curious

    Regards,
    Dave

    +1 for Patrick's site. Very informative and a bit of humour (allbeit a bit dark)
    If you find you have dug yourself a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
    I just finished child-proofing our house - but they still get inside.

    A modern version of the Stanley 220 block plane.

    I think that one looks like the Stanley 60-1/2 ... or somewhere around that number ???

    Cheers,

    The #60, #60 1/2, and #61 block planes had a very low bed angle of 12 degrees'.

    #220 had a bed angle of 20 degree's. The bed angle on the G12-220 shown in the post looks closer to 20 degree's, than 12 degree's.

    Depth adjustment only (no lateral adjustment), and no mouth adjustment. In my opinion that's a modern 220.
