Spoke shave identification help needed
#4
I know this is a common one, but I can't find a guide to identifying spokeshaves anywhere, or if I do, all the photos are dead links.
I'd appreciate any and all info on it.

I think it is a 51 or 52, seems to have an early logo on the blade. No other marks I could find.

Stanley No. 52, most likely, assuming the cutting iron is with its original body.

The 51 and 151 have gull's wing handles; the 52 and (uncommon) 152 have straight handles.

In my opinion, this is one of the best Stanley spokeshaves, so you did well.

Thank you very much! I'm probably going to keep this one to use with my wooden ship modeling.
