The Stanley Ambiguous Numerical Designations Forum:

My #60s are yellow handled chisels, and darn nice ones at that.

I sure am glad that we get to look at a picture of what we’re suppose to be buying on Ebay. :-|

Crank: Hey, whaddya know, a triple!! LOL! rejo: somewhere, somebody is trying to sell a #5 toe plane!!
There’s gotta be a comprehensive collector’s guide with ALL of the Stanley tools with common IDs.
another thought: Although I see lots os vintage Stanley tools listed in eBay, when I see sellers use the term “turn of the Century, do they mean 1900AD, or 2000 AD? heh, a plane could be 10 years old and be considered ‘turn of the Century’ now.

There’s a #77 dowelling machine and identically-numbered marking gauge.

Thanks Doc! Noted here for eternity!

#51spoke shave…#51 shooting board plane

OK, you know how your brain works on problems when you’re not consciously thinking about them—well this one popped into my head this morning: there’s a #47 auger bit depth gauge AND a pretty darn obscure Adjustable Dado Plane of the same designation.

Thanks, Shane and Doc!
