Stanley Bailey No 4 Type 16
So stoked, i picked up an old plane at some markets on the weekend. Turns out it is a type 16 made between 1933 and 1941 in england.
I cant wait to restore it to working condition.
I used this website to find out the vintage. https://woodandshop.com/identify-sta...ge-type-study/

nice looking plane, should be good to clean up and use.
don't want to burst your bubble, but those type studies were done for USA made planes. I don't think Stanley had stared making planes in England during that period.
Stanley first purchased JA Chapman in England in 1936 and had introduced bench planes by around 1951.
If original, the blade shape on your plane looks to be a late production style, possibly 1970s?

Rosewood knob and tote would make it early.
I must admit I’m even vague re Stanley England using Rosewood but early Records certainly did.
That chromed lever cap with the red highlight looks late also, so it might be a bitsa.

Here's the closest thing to an English Stanley plane study:

The wood looks more like beech to me. Bearing in mind that there’s only one photo to go by this could have been made anytime between the 50’s and 70’s.
If you dismantle it and show us the base casting where the frog joins the base and also the rear of the frog with the yoke we can narrow it down to roughly the correct decade, however I will say straight off that pretty much only the earliest British Stanleys were really any good straight out of the box. What you have there can probably be turned into a reasonable “user” plane but it has little collectable value.Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.
