I was cleaning up a BedRock 605 that used to belong to my dad and noticed the Patent Number said APR.2.95. :huh:My dad died in ’74 so how could this be? I've never bought a plane before this month so I’m wondering if someone made a switch. I am missing a few planes, could there be foul play involved?

Umm.. that would be a Type 5 from 1911.

1895, not 1995.

Similarly, the other patent would refer to APR 19 1910, not APR 19 2010.

Patent Number said APR.2.95

That refers to the Patent which was granted in Apr. 2 1895.
That does not mean that plane dates back to that date.

Wow, it just never occurred to me that it was from the previous century. :huh:
OK I feel better now Thanks :laughing:

Np, it also could be a type 6 or a 6a, believe it will be hard to pinpoint that exact type without the original lever cap and if it has the original iron, you still have a very nice plane, and I do mean "Very"..!:thumbsup:

The Iron says Stanley with SW inside a heart shape. I think it’s the original, but not sure. And thanks for the compliment on the Plane.

If your adjusting wheel measure 1 1/4" you have a type 6a, your SW logo on the iron did not come out till that type,
there is a 6b, 6c and a 6d,
If the bottom is corrugated, it's a 6c if not with the SW blade then it's
probably a 6d.

Well it must be a 6d because the knob is 1” dia x 1” long and it is a smooth bottom
