Jake Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 My grandfather gave me a few old planes and i was only able to identify one. Wondering if anyone could help me identify one of the others. This one is made for curved applications, but has no I.D. markings. Any help is appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlau Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 loos similar to a stanley 113, but no knob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 That is called a 'compass plane', I believe. No idea about who made it, or when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Knobs , blade and lever cap are missing. It is a compass plane . The appearance is very similar to my old Stanley but it is in storage and not readily accessible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Harvey Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 It is an early Stanly 113. I have one just like it. It is missing blade and cap obviously, the knob on the front and handle at rear which Blood and Gore says is frequently broken. Mine is also missing rear handle but looks like yours has the broken casting filed smooth. You can still use it if you wear a glove on right hand. Yours has no rust so is worth keeping if you can find the blade parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylder Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 From what I can see, I believe yours is the earliest of the 113, 1877 - 1880 type 1. Worth keeping an eye out for original parts to restore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
