Unadulterated Gloat and Question

>Thanks to Jim and Bugbear on the last query.
So my brother calls up today and says he knows a guy who has a bunch of planes for sale and wants them gone because he's moving to Florida. My bro has no money so he cuts me in if I finance the deal. We show up there and chat for a while. $600 buys about 130 planes, 70% junk, but that's 30 decent Stanleys and a bunch of molding planes. I won't bore you the the details although with my half I made out very well, and one of the many keepers was a butt mortise plane, upon which I have almost pulled the trigger from the LN catalogue - it's the same but obviously old. So my brother and I get in this debate - I say the butt mortise is a Stanley and he says its not (he has actually been collecting longer than I). So, I break out the Walters bible and I can't find it in there. Did I miss it in the book, or who made it?
