A rare STANLEY NO. 47 SKEW-BLADE COMBINATION PLANE. Stanley's No. 47 skew rabbet plane was essentially a No. 46 that was reworked at the factory after the casting was made. The removal of some of the fittings by grinding them flush was intended to accomplish some specialized purpose described in detail in Roger Smith's first book, which also includes a "how to identify a No. 47" dissertation. Perhaps because the extra work was not productive and very likely compounded by a lack of demand, the folks at The Stanley Rule and Level Company didn't keep this one in the product line for long. A rare and obscure Stanley plane that is complete and in sound condition. A clean and well preserved example of an extremely scarce Stanley plane that retains approximately 90% of its original black japan finish. From the Collection of the late Gary Trinkle, Florence, Kentucky. | |
