Is it about 18" long? It would be a size #6 then. The lever cap looks like a transplant. It used to reside on a Transitional plane by Stanley.

Is there any markings on the cutter/iron? Maybe a maker's mark? Any numbers cast into the base? Might, just MIGHT be a frakened Ohio Tool Company 06. The lever cap maybe from a similar sized Trans plane. Shine it up! Sharpen the iron!

The lateral looks like a union or Ohio tools. Ohio tools always marked their planes with something like "06", so I'm guessing its a Union made no-name. Clean the top of the iron and see if you see any markings.

There's no good picture of the tote, but that looks like a shop made replacement too.

I agree with Bandit, the cap is off a trasitional.

Thanks for the responses. I plan on doing a more detailed inspection of it later today and will put some pictures up. It was thrown in as a package deal with three other planes that I picked up off craigslist along with some other odds and ends. Im looking forward to cleaning it up and giving it a nice edge.

I cleaned the plane up a bit and found a Stanley marking on the top of the blade. I also picked up an Ulmia jack plane , a Steiner with a convex iron, and a Dunlap. I really don't know much about them all but the iron on the Ulmia looks pretty sturdy. Any more info on the quality of the planes would be nice.

Thanks
