Stanley 104 Liberty Bell smooth plane offered 1876 - 1918 value A$ 150 9 inches long with a 2 1/8" cutter. This plane with has the Liberty Bell and the year 76 on the lever cap. It was introduced in 1876 to commemorate the signing of the American Declaration of Independence. Steel body tends to rust quicker than cast iron. Stay clear of badly rusted examples. Type 1 and 2 have the 10/5/75 Patent mark on the side (pictured) and an ornate cap screw. Later types come with a nickel plated, modern type screw. Cutter and back iron are not interchangeable with other Stanley planes (except the # 105). The cap design was also used in the Liberty Bell transitional planes i.e. 135 but they are not interchangeable. The 135 has a longer lever cap. If you need spare parts you can only source them from another 104 or 105. |
