B-151. ALUMINUM JACK PLANE. Stanley No. A5. 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. Unfortunately they also scratched very easily and oxidized. leaving black streaks on the wood. They?re scarce, and this is a nice example with only very minor scratching on the bed. Early type with sweetheart cutter and patent date cast into the bed, nickel plating on lever cap mostly rubbed off.
