L. Bailey's Patent July 6, 1875 stamped on the fence.
Leonard Bailey is probably the best-known American plane manufacturer. He designed the line of planes that were then made by the Stanley Rule & Level Co.
Because of a disagreement about royalties, Bailey left Stanley, and in 1875, he designed and manufactured the Victor planes. Stanley took him to court and by 1878 got a ruling that Bailey could not make the Victor planes anymore.
This delicate combination plane is usually found with a broken or missing depth stop or fence. This example is complete and in crisp condition. The nickel plating is dulled and somewhat missing on the handle and front knob, G++ ..................... $2100.00
