Hey all, I was hoping you might help ID a plane. I picked this up for free. The only marks on it are No. 7. Possibly a Sargent? I'd like to know so I can get info for making a missing rear tote and replacing the blade and cap.
Things that stood out to me:
The frog was only machined under the screws, not up by the mouth. On the body there were 3 machined pads surrounding the frog attachment screws. I can pull it apart and take pics if it helps.
The blade depth knob looks identical to Stanley's
The lateral adjustment lever was bent over, not two joined pieces like Stanley.
The front knob wasn't attached via a threaded rod and nut, but rather a machine screw. See last pic.
What remained of the japaning was thicker / smoother than I've seen on Stanley's.
