The Stanley I found out is a Bailey and is a number 3.  Anyway I can carve a 2 out of the 3 to make it more valuable 
Uhoh

I need to clean them and take more pics but I do think the #4 is a Hercules based on what I can see on the iron.

Might switch out the front knobs...

#4 is a ParPlus.....not all that great.    keep the iron from it, as they were very good ones...
   
This was a #5  ParPlus I had for a while...
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

You make a nice piece a furniture with those planes instead of a fancy one and you can be called a REAL craftsman.
