Stanley # 20 Compass PlaneStanley # 20 Compass Plane  The Stanley #20 Compass plane is the favorite among users because of the heftiness and design of the plane. The design was derived from Leonard Bailey's victor compass plane which Stanley bought the rights to.  This being a nickeled model would qualify it as a type 1 and dates it from before 1919.  They were japanned afterward.  There has been some nickel loss, but it is sound and ready to go back to work.

Stanley / Victor # 20 Compass Plane Stanley / Victor # 20 Compass Plane  This Stanley #20 was first offered in 1897 and came nickel plated.  After 1920 they were japanned.  This would be considered a type one.   The Stanley 20 1/2 was offered at the time the 20 was nickeled so you could buy a japanned version.  It was dropped after 1917 and WWI. and the 20 was then offered in a black japanned finish    The condition of this example is good w/ minor losses to the finish.  A favorite with users and ready to go back to work.

Stanley # 78W Weatherstrip Rabbet PlaneStanley # 78W Weatherstrip Rabbet Plane  The tag indicates the collector bought this from Bob Kaune and that he thought it was worth 10x what he paid.  Hard to imagine.  There is no reference to the runner being made up, but that is what it looks like to me.  The plane has the proper captive screw feature to attach the aux. fence / runner, and that looks right.  I am not sure who or when the fence was added or who got the best of who in that original deal. It might not be right, but it looks good, and will function if you have signed up for and are scheduled to start setting weather-strip in the plan to revitalize and weatherize America that is currently being proposed.  Good luck with that.
