For an on-line explanation of types and dates, visit

Don't forget that Stanley never made the planes to any particular type - the
type studies are based on experienced tool collectors making detailed
observations of what they found in the wild on tools that were presumed to
be all original, based on case-specific conditions. What you actually find
in the wild will commonly not exactly fit in a specific type, but you can
usually generally place it...

A good type study is also found in the back of John Walter's excellent
reference book "Antique and Collectible Stanley Tools Guide to Identity and
Value"
