It has been a long since I have been at KNOTS. I am back– to lurk mostly. But I do have a question. I am looking for all and any info on a 0557B stanley plane. When was it made. Is it crap or is it a quality tool. Thanks gang.

Bruno, I cannot find this one on Patrick Leach's page or through google search.

Is 0557B the right number?

I have been to Patrick's website too and could not find any info. Tonight I will double check the number I have and try again.

Your number sounds like a casting # off one of the planes parts.
