Note: The value of Stanley Bedrock planes has remained pretty stable over the years. Prices rose when Walters price guides first came out, demand and interest were high, and then fell somewhat about the time of 9 - 1 -11, the following recession, and leveled off after that. That happened with a lot of antique tools & other collectibles. Condition is really the most critical aspect in relation to value. Most Stanley #602's sell in a range from 500 - 1200 depending on condition and whether or not corrugated.

Stanley Bed Rock No. 604 Smooth Plane This very nice looking early round side Bed Rock plane has characteristics of a type 5 & 6. It has been cleaned, lapped and re-japanned w/ a baked on finish. There are no structural issues and little to no rust or pitting on the plane.

The single line Bed Rock cap is for a later type (6) than the round side type 5 or earlier body calls for. It has a nice near full length V Logo cutter of a type 6 as well. The period Rosewood handle & knob are beautiful.

Bed Rock planes with their near unique machine mated frog to body and adjustment feature are considered by many users to be the finest design plane ever made in that it does not allow chips and debris to collect under the frog and allow it to get out of whack. Very Very Nice!

Good + . . . . . $395.00 HOLD!!

Stanley Bed Rock # 605 1/4 Junior Jack Plane This is one of the hardest Stanley Bedrock planes to find. It ranks right up there with the 602 & 604 1/2 and is probably even scarcer given its shorter production period. Stanley bedrocks were first introduced in the late 1890's and had round sides but a very unique frog design that the standard Stanley line of planes did not have. After a short period they flattened the side rails as this one has. Over the years the name on the cap changed from a 3 line cap, to a single line Bedrock, then to a 2 line one and finally near the end of the production period simply went to the Stanley inscribed cap as this one has. Stanley stopped making Bedrocks with the beginning or WWII and this dates from right around that time.

This example is in collector condition and still retains nearly all of its original shiny black japanned finish. The wood is nice and much nicer than the glare in the pictures shows. The Stanley in a single line on the cap is proper as they only offered this plane after they had dropped the Bed Rock marked cap. A super piece in super condition. .

Fine . . . . . .$450.00 SOLD!

Stanley # 605 1/4 Junior Jack Plane The 605 1/4 bedrock plane is one of the hardest to find Stanley Bedrock planes. It ranks right up there with the 602 & 604 1/2 and is probably even scarcer given its shorter production period from 1925 to 1943. This example is in collector condition and still retains nearly all of its original shiny black japanned finish. The sides and sole are rust and pit free and look good. The Rosewood handle is nice with remains of a decal. All 605 1/4's carry the Stanley cap as none were made during the period that the caps were marked Bedrock. Stanley stopped making Bedrocks altogether with the beginning of WWII and this dates from right around that time. A super piece in super condition.

Stanley # 6 (606) Type 1 Bedrock Fore Plane Stanley introduced the Bedrock line of planes in 1898. The outward appearance of the first ones was near identical to the standard looking line of Stanley bench planes. The cap was different, and marked with the new, distinctive 3 line Bedrock info. There was a single frog adjusting screw behind the frog that standard issue Stanley Bench planes did not have at this time, and that was about it for differences. Later they flattened the sides, and added pins and 2 additional screws to the frog design to change the look and action.

The earliest type Bedrock planes was marked #6 and not 606. This was the same for all sizes 2 thru 8. . Also at the tail, there is a ground out area where Stanley removed a patent date that was in conflict with somebody else's patent. This type 1 Bedrock plane was only offered for a couple of years, and is quite scarce. In order to fully understand and appreciate the above info one must see and study the type study put out by Bob Kaune.

The condition is very nice noting that the top of the rear tote has chipped away. A very hard to find plane, and the beginning of an era!!

A little note here about the collector and Bed Rocks. When he first started buying Stanley and Bedrocks, neither Walters book or Kaune's type study were available. He was winging it. He made himself notes documenting the differences and similarities to other Bedrocks he was buying. He knew it was a bedrock just marked 7, but the rest was a mystery to him. After a while, and after type studies, he tried to buy one of every type. He would have done it, but simply ran out of time.

Side Note: I remember the first type 1 Bedrock I ran into 35 or so years ago, also before the type studies. I needed a Bedrock cap and was trying to buy the cap for $5.00 instead of buying the whole plane for $10.00. Dumb and dumber. The good old days.

Stanley Bed Rock Type 2 # 608 C Corrugated Bottom Jointer Plane This is a Stanley Rule & Level Co. Type 2 Bed Rock No. 8 C (# 608) Jointer Plane. This Stanley 608 C Bed Rock dates from 1898 - 1899. When Stanley first introduced the Bed Rock line of planes they numbered them 2 thru 8 like their typical line of planes. It was not until the type 3 offered in 1900 that they started using the 600 series to number the planes and differentiate them from the regular line of bench planes.

Type 1 & type 2 Bedrocks had the new machined & mated frog design but were numbered with just a single number 2 thru 8 as this one is. The other distinguishing feature of these early type Bed Rocks is that there is a milled out area where a patent date in the casting that was in conflict with a competitors patent was ground out. That date was removed after the plane had been japanned. This is a type 2 as it has just one patent date on the lateral. It has a proper and nice 3 line Bed Rock Cap.

This plane has a rich dark patina. There is no major rust or pitting to speak of. A previous owner scratched his SS # on the side with an electric pen. This would easily lap out if desired. There is at least 80% of the of the japanning. The knob and handle are the premium Rosewood of the era and very nice. The cutter is long, proper and OK. Good throat. Overall it is a very nice plane and good enough for the collection, or will be a fine user.

Stanley Bedrock # 8 Type 1 ( # 608 ) Jointer Plane This Stanley Bedrock (608) Type 1 is properly marked # 8 and has the conflicting patent date ground off the plane body.

Stanley Bedrock # 608 C Corrugated Bottom Jointer Plane This is a Type 3 Stanley Bed Rock 608 C that dates from 1900 - 1908. When Stanley first introduced this style of plane they numbered them like their typical line of planes. It was not until the type 3 first offered in 1900 that they started using the 600 series to number the planes and differentiate them from the regular line of Stanley bench planes.

It has been lightly cleaned, and has a rich dark patina. There is no rust or pitting to speak of. There is 80% or so of the original japanning if not more. The knob and handle are the premium Rosewood of the era and very nice. The cutter is long, proper and OK. Good throat. Small chip in lever cap. Overall it is a very nice plane and good enough for the collection, or will be a fine user. A nice plane.
