The patent is for the plane adjuster. It was granted to John Muchl of the Buckeye Manufacturing Company of Union City, IN.

The adjuster is cool looking but doesnt look sturdy.

To answer your initial question: Stanley planes don't always say "Stanley" on the body. The Bailey (top of the line if you don't count Bedrocks) all say "Bailey" on the body, but others just have things like patent dates, "Made in USA" or England if that's the case, the size, etc.
