The Stanley block planes listed below are variations of, similar to, or evolved from the basic # 9 1/2 Stanley block plane design. The 9 1/2 block plane went through a series of changes in its design over its 100+ year span of production. The differences between the planes listed here can be as subtle as finish differences, like polished or nickel fittings as opposed to japanned fittings, cap style, an extra 1" in length, as with the 9 1/2 & 15, or with the 60 series where the cutter is set at a lower angle than the 9 1/2 family of planes were.
Note: The throats on all of the planes are good unless otherwise noted. Many sellers of block planes never address and buyers are never told of the condition of this critical aspect. These planes are prone to damage w/ stress cracks at the edges, or chips along the edge and the condition of the throat needs to be considered.

4 Stanley Excelsior Model
# 9 1/2 & #15 1/2 Block Planes
The earliest 9 1/2 model block planes had what is called the
excelsior body where the side rail hump was further back than on later models.
What we have here are 2 # 91/2s and 2 # 15 1/2 shown w/o tails. The two #15
1/2 planes have nuts to accept a
tail which would make them 15 1/2's. One of each size is early
enough to not have a lateral adjuster which is proper for them.
The first
9 1/2 has
throat issues but good parts.
Look
further down the page for a selection of tails for these, or one you might have
that needs one.

4 Stanley
Block Plane Tails
Stanley offered this accessory as far back as 1872 on
their first models of these planes. As can be seen one is broken.
The last one has a different shape to it but I believe it is proper. One also
has a slightly different casting shape for the fork.

This is the same plane as above with a

the verge of being stripped. It get tight, and then skips a thread
and loosens up. You are buying the handle only for $200 and
