This plane is missing the adjuster. The picture I have loaded shows the rear shot without the semi-circular plate that was on the frog. I don’t know what the adjuster looks like and was hoping someone either has an extra, HaHa, or could send me pics so I could make my version. Really appreciate any help. Joe

You're missing the Depth
You're missing the Depth adjusting nut and its associated screw. What I can not tell is if you are missing the 'Y adjusting lever'. It looks like a wishbone and one end sits in the 'hole' of the cap iron while the other end straddles the Adjusting nut. It pivots on a rivet or pin that goes through the frog and Y adjustert. I'm sure I have an extra nut and screw lying around. Also, which NUMBER is it? 3,4,5?? or if it does not have a number, what is the length of the bed?

The frog mechanism on those planes are very hard to come by. It'll be tough to find someone who has the part.
It's shaped in a circular fashion much like the outline that is on the back of the bed.
Here is a link that describes stanley plane types. There is another site out there with pictures, but I have not been able to locate it.

Once you determine the type you can try to find your parts on ebay, or, http://www.antique-used-tools.com/stanley_parts.htm
Good Luck!
Here is the other link that has the pictures...
