Help Identify Wooden Bench Plane

I have a couple like that. Its most likely made from Beech, at least mine is. The blade’s not stock. If you like a can check the maker of mine if you want.

Wizard,

Could it be an Emmerich?

It is beech. This is a very popular style of European plane and every one that I ever saw was beech (red or white) and some had lignum vitae soles. Many had no maker’s marks either. They are good planes once you get them tuned up. Good Luck!

The wood plane is going to be hard to track down with no makers mark. That nice looking low knob stanley in the background is another matter thought.

That’s a Stanley Bailey No. 3 Type 7 in the background. The frog is broken at the top where the lateral adjustment fits. I haven’t had any luck tracking down a frog for it.

I have the exact same plane, bought it with a broken frog as well. It was one of my early “lessons learned” plane purchases. I wound up buying 2 off ebay before I got the correct one. So moral of the story….I have an extra type 9 #3 frog. :-)

That reminds me – I haven’t checked on ebay in about week. Better go look…

Hey,’ jrc127’ I checked with the five I could find, each one different, 3, no names on body. All made out of Beech, one had a box wood or hornbeam bottom, one had a some wood that looked like Rosewood(ULMIA). No Emmerich, one had a STANLE blade. A lot of European countries bought the blade from some one else.
