I just cleaned up a type 10 bench plane (1907-1909) and was fascinated by the milling marks on the bottom of the frog. I like the abstract pattern. But then maybe I have been cleaning up waaaay too many planes recently.
By the way--didja ever wonder what the difference was between a type 9 and a type 10? If this knotty question has been keeping you up nights lately, worry no more. Here are frog seats from a type 9 (bottom) and type 10 (top).
And now you know "the rest of the story."

So, let's say you have a Stanley Bailey #5. Now, I can only presume that their first iteration back in 1850(something or other) was a Type 1. Fast forward to 1945 and the Type 10 comes into play. So maybe every ten years or so they change the Type number????

Naw, types change frequently, based on "improvements" which are really just design changes. Look here

I love this stuff. Now I'm going to start paying attention to milling marks... like I really need this.
I have a Stanley 55 which was owned by my grandfather. He made a nice pine box for it and it's parts and irons and in the box are shavings that he made. The handle on the box is made from a turned and drilled pine knot. Who does that stuff? The shavings aren't 100 years old but we're guessing they're about 80 year old.

Your grandfather's home made box sounds "picture worthy" to me.

I was thinking the same thing and with the shavings to
As of this time I am now teaching vets again. If you have any lumber scraps we can use them to glue up to make some bowl from a board which we have not done yet.. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
