Does anyone know of a Stanley No. 140 type study? I've looked in John Walter's book and google but have come up empty.
thanks
Pat

Thanks David, yes, I saw both of those. The second one didn't really provide and info on the types and the first seemed a bit incomplete. I know there is a type 1 and 2 but I think there is a 3 & 4 as well. The frog can have patent dates as can the side plate and I think these span different types. Also, I know these can be had with Sweetheart logos and I don't see a reference to that. I suppose everything can just be "derivation" of a type 2.
thanks again
Pat

I checked Sellens and Blanchard and they have the same information. I think you are right on track. Collectors insist on "pure" examples and frown on replaced parts. Without a type study, it is pretty hard to determine which planes have replacement parts. I have a box of #140 parts and sometimes frankenplane together a user. No deception intended, but once it is turned loose in the wild who knows how it will be marketed.
