Mysterious Stanley No.25 low angle transitional plane - Smashedfinger - 06-20-2019
I found this Stanley 25 low angle transitional plane for a song on ebay. They are rather hard to find and I'll have to do a full restore on this mess. The blade is toast, so I ordered another one off ebay. I'll update when I get done with it.

Almost reminds of the Liberty Bell No. 122....

Why are you referring to this as "mysterious?"

Low angle? Relative to what plane is it a low angle plane?
And what was the song?

This is No.25 plane. Stanley called it a wood bottom block plane. The bed is lower than a No. 24 (smooth plane) which is 45 degrees, and the plane is longer to accommodate the more reclined iron. Unlike the No. 35 it has no rear handle. It has a slotted iron, but no real cap iron, just a small slip screwed on to engage the adjuster.

I paid 25.00. I said "mysterious" because I've never seen one before.

Bandit knows how much I love the Liberty Bells and what they mean to me anyway.
To me they mean freedom of our nation and should be prized along with other tools or reminders to.
