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 and the following recession. Prices leveled off after that fall. 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.

It has a full length proper cutter, good throat, no rust, minor staining / pitting and no casting problems.

Stanley No. 602 Type 5/6 Bed Rock Smooth Plane w/ B of E Handle Very nice overall condition. It has features of a type 5 dating from 1911 only with a later type 6 Single line Bed Rock lever cap. It is probably correct and factory given the situation.

This Bed Rock 602 also has the unusual B of E / Board of Education Rubber handle that dates from this 1911 or later era. These hard rubber handles were made as replacements and for the wooden handles and for the most part were sold to schools where plane handles were oftentimes damaged. They are usually found on larger planes. This B of E handle, unlike many found is undamaged with no cracks chips of flakes.

Lots of original japanning. It is not rusty or pitted and there are no structural issues. All in all a sweet little 602 suitable for the collection.

Stanley #602 Type 7 Bedrock Smooth Plane This #602 Stanley Bedrock Smooth Plane is a very nice plane overall. These planes were Stanley's top of the line bench planes when produced starting around 1898 up until the Second World War when production ceased. And when compared to the standard line of bench planes that Stanley put out it is like comparing Cadillac's with Vega's. Today they remain one of the most sought after and highly regarded bench planes that has ever been produced due to their superior quality, top of the line design features, and the super usability traits that they exhibit. This is by far the rarest and most desirable size of the Bedrock series of planes that was made.

Stanley Bed Rock No. 603 Type 9 / 10 Smooth Plane This Stanley Bed Rock No. 603 Smooth Plane is in fine condition. It is all original. Long, good, proper era, Sweetheart era logo cutter, good throat area, good Rosewood tote & knob, correct Stanley cap. The lever cap slot is straight of a type 9 but it has a raised platform for the handle of a type 10. No issues, and no apologies. Just a nice clean example.

Bed Rocks are a highly sought after user and collectible plane, for good reason. Bed Rock planes with their machined mated frog to sole design are considered one of the best design bench planes ever developed or offered. The design eliminates the possibility of loose material like wood shavings getting between the two parts and throwing the plane out of adjustment. This has the later 3 screw design allowing any adjustment of the frog to be done without taking the plane apart. Lie Nielson and others use the machine mated design and it is an often times copied idea.

Stanley Bedrock # 604 C Smooth Plane This # 604C corrugated smooth plane has characteristics of both a type 5 & 6. I believe it is proper and has not been fiddled with. Rather I think the type study needs to be a bit less rigid, and those who consider it the bible need to be a bit more flexible in their beliefs.

Anyway, it has well over 90% of the original japanning, and the wood is in super condition and has the style of graceful rosewood handle only these earlier Stanley planes have. There are a few numbers stamped into the side rail, indicating this may have come from a school or shop at some point.

Short story. I have been at this long enough to remember when there were buyers who would not buy a Bedrock if it did not have a Bed Rock cap. That later ones like this were supposed to have a Stanley cap made no difference Sellers were happy to help. In fact many sellers had no access to a type study, nor did they care, or know any better. They knew what sold and just cobbled stuff up to make it look nice so it would sell. And it did sell. Some did it well, as with this one, others not so good. There is no tag on this saying where or when the collector got it, but it has the aura of a California creation from the 80's - 90's where a lot of planes were made to look very nice for the hungry collectors / consumers of the day. A good looking plane even if it does not fit the type study, and Priced Right!!

Stanley Bedrock #604 1/2 C Type 3 Smooth Plane This plane is in good overall condition. It has very little original japanning left. I have put very nice proper and original vintage wood on this plane. I replaced the short cutter with a proper vintage cutter. I lightly cleaned the whole plane. There is very light texture / pitting on the sides and bottom, but nothing major or that has to be dealt with. It would lap out easily and if repainted this plane would look super. The stuff on the cap is crud, and not pitting. It will come off as well with a proper cleaning. It is priced accordingly, and will make a great user just the way it sits.

Stanley Bedrock #604 1/2 Type 6 Smooth Plane This plane is in excellent overall condition. Note the great early Stanley Rosewood handle with a nearly full original decal. The high knob is very nice as well with no cracks or finish loss. They are both rich, dark, and near flawless. The cutter has the sweetheart logo and that as well as the other features date this plane from approx 1912-1922. The original black japanning is well over 90% but is very light from what i have seen on other examples. There are no casting cracks, chips or other flaws, anywhere! The throat area is very nice as is the rest of the sole. The sides have a ever so light texture or pitting that can not be felt but with a glass is evident and indicates that this plane was once lightly rusted, but his is not really noticeable, and will in no way affect the use. It would easily lap out if one so desired. The cap is proper and according to the type study that Bob Kaune has put out, this would be a type 6 and all parts are proper for this. These 604 1/2 Bedrock planes very hard to find these days, and they are still the standard that all planes try to emulate 100 years later. Nothing finer has ever been built for the money and value in one of these planes, and this one will not disappoint in any way, it is very nice!! Top Shelf! Recommended.
