Stanley Block Planes
The Stanley block planes listed below are variations of, similar to, or evolved from the basic # 9 1/2 Stanley block plane design. The Stanley 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 differences in the finish, 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.

Stanley
Type 3 # 9 1/2 Block Plane This is a very
early model that was only made for a few years back in the 1870's. The
distinguishing features are the unique pebbled cap and front adjuster. There is a small chip at the
front of the right rail.

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 the auxiliary tail / accessory as far
back as 1872 on their first models of their 9 1/2 series planes. As can be seen
the legs on the left one are 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 and may be from a Sargent?.

Stanley Excelsior Model
# 15 1/2 Tailed Block Plane
This is the same plane as above with a
auxiliary tail attached that just came in on a broken body. I want 200 for
the original handle. It is very nice. The nut holding it on is on
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
the plane from above for $95.00. Buy one, the other, or both. Your
Choice.

This hi angle 7" block plane is pretty nice.
To be a 17 it should have a nickel cap, but I had to change it out with another
proper era black one. A nice little plane.

Stanley Type 2 #110 Block Plane w/ Shoe Buckle Cap
The 110 block plane was first offered in 1875. The
first model had slightly different side rail profiles. This is a type 2
and was only offered for a year or so before Stanley made major changes to the
design doing away with the Shoe Buckle cap. The collectors tag stuck
inside the body of this indicates he bought it from Roger Smith back in the
70's. That is over 40 years ago.
The condition is very nice. The
shoe buckle cap is damage free. The front knob is so nice I am guessing it might be a replacement, but do not know.
A hard to find early and rare block plane in very nice condition.

Stanley
Sweet Heart Era # 131 Double Ended Block Plane
The #131 block plane is the upgraded adjustable version of the classic #130
double ended block plane Stanley offered. These planes were offered for approximately 40 years starting
right after the turn of the century. It has a unique design where you flip
the adjuster back or forth to seat the iron on. This adjuster is fragile
and often
cracked as it can be flipped only when the screw is let out enough and it will
crack if forced or not set in the channel correctly. This one is not cracked
or damaged in any way. The overall condition is very nice.
