According to Supertool.com, this model of plane was manufactured starting in 1937 and continued through 1943. This is a cabinet maker's tool, a bullnose rabbet plane. With its introduction just prior to the war and the subsequent materials shortages, very few of these planes were made. As a result, it ends up being one of the rarest of Stanley planes for collectors. Brown's Antique Tool Auctions has identified only 3 of this model to have ever some up for live auction. This model is made of nickel-plated cast iron. The cap iron, which also serves as the handle, is marked "Stanley" and "Made in USA" on the upper surface. The underside is marked "C 1360." The depth adjustment knob is marked "No. 90A". The cutting iron is marked:        StanleyMade in USA90A The sole measures 315/16 inches by 11/16 inches, and the tool stands 21/4 inches high.
