Stanley “Liberty Bell” Planes

I have a collection of these planes with examples of each model and each type. A type study of the Stanley “Liberty Bell” plane may be viewed HERE. Type studies are used by collectors to date a tool. I wish to thank the Richmond Antique Tool Society for hosting my type study on their web site.

I came by this collection by accident. One of us was into antique silver flatware and we visited many, many antique malls. Boooring. I needed something to do while she browsed for silver. On a whim, I decided to see how many Liberty Bell plane examples I might find.

Models 120, 104, 122, front to back.
