Stanley 5 3/4 ??? *LINK*
Ted Shuck, Centennial, CO
>A recent ebay auction offered a "Stanley 5 3/4" plane. The pictures show it marked "05 3/4" on the toe and it has a Stanley pat 92 blade. The "05" suggests a Record plane. Looks to be the size of a 5 1/2.
Anybody recognize this one?
Thanks,
Ted

>It's not uncommon on the 'bay for another brand to have a Stanley iron in it. I'm not positive, but I think Union, in their pre-gobbled-up-by-Stanley days used some "O" numbers and odd fractions.
Pretty sure that's an Ohio

>Their 1910 catalogue lists a 5 3/4. It just has an incorrect blade (of about the right vintage, strangely enough!)

>Found one of these a few years ago at a flea market. If I recall, it had a tapered iron, with the Ohio globe trademark. Sold it online (for a pretty good price). -Wayne

>I missed that one! You ever find another Ohio 5 3/4 with a correct blade (2 3/8" wide), you lemme know.
