I have an old Stanley #102 plane. Yah, I know it is a cheap piece of ____ but I didn't buy it to be a work horse. I am trying to figure out how old it is but the logo doesn't match any I can find. The logo on the cutter has:
line 1) STANLEY RULE (upwards arch)
line 2) & (in the center)
line 3) LEVEL Co (downwards arch with the "o" in Co raised to the top of the C)
All I can find on internet show the "& LEVEL CO" on a straight line together making a two line Stanley logo. Impressed into the heel of the plane is 102. Would this plane be 1870s or 1880s?
