Help I.D. this Plane - med-one - 05-24-2017 Looking for help identifying this block plane. No makers mark on any parts except for Stanley blade. RE: Help I.D. this Plane - Admiral - 05-24-2017 You got me, but it's interesting as hell. RE: Help I.D. this Plane - med-one - 05-24-2017 More Pictures. RE: Help I.D. this Plane - bandit571 - 05-24-2017 Maybe look up and see if Chaplin did block planes?     Looks about like his style of  work... RE: Help I.D. this Plane - hbmcc - 05-24-2017 Check out this site and article.... http://eaiainfo.org/2016/12/26/copy-cat-blocks-and-one-from-the-model-shop/ People are notorious for fiddling with tools.

RE: Help I.D. this Plane - med-one - 05-25-2017 My block plane measures exactly 7 1/16" long by 1 15/16" wide and has indents on the outside of the plane like the Victor model and a tight mouth maybe an 1/8" wide with no damage. RE: Help I.D. this Plane - hbmcc - 05-25-2017 But, sadly, difficult to revert to the original species. A lot like my dog; pure, loveable--don't tell him that--mongrel. RE: Help I.D. this Plane - bandit571 - 05-26-2017 Might be from when Leonard was working for himself, after a big fight with Stanley Tools......he went off on his own  for a few years,  Victor  was one of the line of planes he came up with.     maybe in the 1880s? L. Bailey & Co. # 0 1/2 Originals had a large knob in the "lever cap", with 'VICTOR" cast into it. The "0" series had that flared sides, the #1 and #2 had straight sides, and adjustable mouths.
