Seems this topic is never ending but I have a hand plane that is very unique, at least to me. I pulled out some of my hand plane purchases to tune and sharpen and this one threw me for a loop in two ways.
1)When I started sanding down the messed up edge I found that it has a laminated blade. Oddly the lamination does not seem to be equally thick across the edge.

2)The blade has tapered thickness about 3/16 at the cutting edge down to 3/64 at the top

There are no markings on the plane body anywhere I can find. The handle screw may have an S on it but not sure if that is original.

It is the same size as my Stanley Bailey No. 4. It has a corrugated sole and the front knob is slightly shorter. There is no screw for throat adjustment.

All help is greatly appreciated.
