Help with ID on my no 4
I combed through a bunch of posts, flow charts, articles and diagrams but feel like I keep coming up with different Id’s. I inherited so many tools from my grandfather, some were my great grandfather’s. Trying to narrow down the age on this No. 4. Just starting to go through the hand tools. Some of these charts point to type 19 some I think 14. Maybe it’s a Frankenstein situation. Any input would be really appreciated. I’m not trying to sell I just want to fill in the blanks on some fam history.
I’ve been a trim/ finish carpenter for 10+ years and now wanting to get into wood working and restoring these hand tools. I just don’t know enough about planes and all the other stuff I’ve now acquired. I have this giant hand made box of hand saws. Other saws that don’t fit in the box I’ve never seen anything that even remotely looks like them as a modern carpenter. Some are bow saws based on Google image. A bunch of wooden levels. A tool box from my great grandfather that has all these hand crank drills and what looks like hand made/forged wrenches (he worked on the railroad in the late 1800’s)
Here’s some photos of the no4 plane though. I’ll post photos of the other stuff if anyone wants to check it out. Thank you so much for reading and your patience.
