   Hmmm, does your stanley 55 have any other attachments?

   It is similar to the 45.

   A Stanley 55 "Universal Plane" complete with cutters is quite the collector's item.  Click here to see one web article about it.  I don't know how many people actually use the darned things. ;-)

   It is a multi-purpose plane with many many cutters and profiles, fences , stops, knobs etc. Similar to Record #45. Very nice tools if you want to use them . An original complete one is with a wooden box and small book of instructions.
