Thanks, Admiral!  Those two were worth printing out for later review.

Thank you Rich

So I got some of this info

"However, each plane also has two simple studs; one securing the front knob and the other fixing the handle. As parts go these studs have nil intellectual property value, are very simple to manufacture and feature wide tolerances."

On the first one it mentioned the studs are either 12-20 or 1/4/20 and wondering which is which for the years?

So which one is for the steel bodies?

Rich

So which one is used for the steel bodies 12-20 or 1/4-20???  Or is it both of them???

The 12-20 would be the OEM on the Stanley....1/4-20 usually means  someone had to repair the parts....or, it may mean you have bolts from Millers Falls...
