Title: swing fence plane
Post by: jimwrench on November 06, 2016, 03:56:54 PM

 Is this a Stanley 49 plane ? The tag says Stanley but after buying it I noticed it doesn't say Stanley on the plane body nor does it say 49. It is a 49 but I question the maker. I got a Stanley 48 and 2 Stanley 191's with the same bid so while I'm a little disappointed my $55 bill was not a total waste.

So do you suspect its a Union.

 It is a 48 and it could be a Union as Stanley was reported to have bought some Union planes and ground the trademark off and sold them as Stanley.
