    English No. 4, Made in England.jpg
    A simple little fact: Stanley found out IF a plane was made/assembled in England..they did not have to pay the Import Taxes..and then could sell anywhere in the Commonwealth...
    English No.4, Bailey.jpg
    But is still was a "Bailey"...not Rumpole of the Bailey...
    English No. 4, grinding angle, factory.jpg
    Iron says it was made in England..and gives the precise Grinding angle of 25 degrees...stamped right on it..

    Mainly been used to plane raised panels, ala Paul Sellers...and works quite well...which is all I ask of any tool I have.

    BTW: it was never used as a shooting plane...they did make other planes designed to do that job.
    A Planer? I'm the Planer, and this is what I use
