TC26-138 ALUMINUM SMOOTHING PLANE. Stanley No. A4. Between 1925 and 1935 Stanley had the bright idea of making its line of Bailey-type planes with aluminum bodies to make them lighter and easier to handle, but they scratched easily and weren't popular. Tall knob type with vee cutter, wood has light wear, metal not bad with some scratches on sole. Traces of nickel plating on lever cap. From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good 75-150
