Yeah, I like the newer ones, too, the type 19s & 20s. I just bought a No. 6, type 20 according to the seller. I already bought an older 1 but the seller kinda' shafted me on it. It's in bad shape. It's really rusty, the tote is busted, the horn is missing, & the adjusting lever is bent. The pics were real dark, the background hid the tote & it was angled to hide the damage. But be careful about the "new" ones, too. I bought a new no. 5 & it has plastic totes & I think it'll take a lot tuning to use it. So try to find used planes in good shape. I've got 3 no. 4s (1 Kobalt), 2 no. 5s, & 2 no. 6s. And I've got an extra iron so I can make a scrub plane from an 'extra'. Nice videos. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
@@NotanExpert-Woodworking, You're welcome 🤠 I'm not an expert either 😂 but I did hear, like you, it's based on the #4. So it's like "ready between the lines" when the type study doesn't add up. The dead giveaway for me was the diagonal knurling on the depth adjustment wheel. I have this same type in a #5 size. I understand that style depth adjustment wheel was only used on that type. It's interesting and fun to type planes. Enjoy your videos 🤠
Hyperkitten is the most helpful to ID planes imo. Additionally, the type studies are based on the no. 4 Stanleys. The are discrepancies with other sizes. The diagonal pattern (as noted) on the depth wheel indicates type 18 if the plane is 100% original... lovely hand plane 👍

Looks like a type 18, 1946-47
👍😎🤠🇺🇸 Based on the diagonal knurling on the depth adjustment wheel and the painted hardwood on the knob and tote.
Answer yes to the raised rib at the heal and toe and follow the flow chart from there. You'll see your plane lines up from there.
Thanks Jim, I thought the painted totes were wrong for a 15. I'm learning that the type study doesn't work perfectly for all numbers.
