The Stanley I found out is a Bailey and is a number 3. Anyway I can carve a 2 out of the 3 to make it more valuable
I need to clean them and take more pics but I do think the #4 is a Hercules based on what I can see on the iron.
Might switch out the front knobs...
#4 is a ParPlus.....not all that great. keep the iron from it, as they were very good ones...

This was a #5 ParPlus I had for a while...
I put these on swap and sell. Would like to keep them but no room no time.
You make a nice piece a furniture with those planes instead of a fancy one and you can be called a REAL craftsman.
