Default Help with this plane!

Hi all!

I'm looking to buy a plane here in Argentina. I seem to believe that
it's a Bailey 1 Smoothing plane, but I'm not sure... I never really
saw one of those. The vendor doesn't know much about it.

Could you please help me to identify if this is an original plane,
maybe an aprox production date, model, or any other data you might
consider important? Here I'm posting some pictures of it!

http://cablemodem.fibertel.com.ar/ba...4-PatDates.jpg
http://cablemodem.fibertel.com.ar/ba...ane/5-Knob.jpg

For example, I read that the plane always had a solid brass nut for
the iron's depth adjustment.. but this one has that "depression" found
in larger bench planes, as you can see in the pictures.

Thank you very much in advance!

Doesn't look like a No. 1 to me. No. 1's don't have lateral
adjustments and they're not marked on the plane bed with Bailey or
Stanley (only on the cutter). It also looks too big - hard to tell
from the pictures as there's nothing to scale it to. The No. 2 never
had the frog adjusting screw and yours does. The next step up has the
required ingredients and the patent dates do seem to point to a No. 3.

Patrick Leach's site is an excellent reference as is John Walter's
book.

You're welcome.

You have to watch out for some dealers. They're adept at almost
saying what something is, then pleading that they really don't know
much about it. With things like a No. 1 there are also counterfeits.

Buyer beware.

Thanks, I'll keep that advise in mind!

Sorry to bother you again with another question. It is normal that
some lever caps has the "stanley" logo on it, and some others don't?
In this case, the plane doesn't show Stanley on the lever cap, but the
casting shows "bailey". Is this because this unit was made before
Bailey was bought by Stanley?

Thanks one more time!

Oops! Sorry, a deeper read to the Superior Works link you sent me,
gave me the answers.

Thanks!
