Stanley 61 low angel block plane offered 1911 - 1935 value A$ 150 6" long with 1 3/8" cutter Black japanned with nickel plated trimmings. This is how Stanley's marketing & numbering system works: Design a plane, call it No 60. Make some improvements to it, i.e. add an adjustable mouth. But wait, what about the first model without the adjustable mouth? Let's make a new plane, same as the old one we made ten years ago but this time we call it a 61. Now we have two planes to sell. Cheers all round and a 25 year loyalty pin coming up for the marketing genius who found a gap in the numbering system. Confused?
