Hand plane identification

[Sawmill7]

New to hand planes and hopefully some can I.D. these planes. Thanks for any help.

The second one, obviously, is a Stanley Bedrock--generally a desirable plane.

You can get an idea of the DOM of the iron here: https://virginiatoolworks.com/2015/02/16/stanley-trademark-stamps/

The first plane is a #78 Stanley duplex filletster and rabbet plane.

The second is a #5 length, maybe the most populous size. Bedrock #605 makes it nicer, fantastic user once tuned up. If the bottom side has lengthwise grooves in it that adds a corrugated bottom making it a C suffix.

First is a later model #78, having the blade depth adjuster, which is nice. Has the fence, which is nice, depth stop and knicker should be on the other side, hope they are there.

Here is a pic of other side. They both have som rust on bottoms. What is the best way to clean them up? Probably going to sell both as I have enough stuff and won't be asking alot. Hope they can go to someone who collects planes. Thanks for your help. Bill

According to Patricks blood & gore, this plane did not have a nicker.

B&G does indicate a nicker (and there is one on my 78 as well). From B&G (the three-pronged spur is the nicker):

>>Directly below the depth stop, is a three-pronged spur to score the grain that sits flush with the side of the plane. It can be turned up out of the way when it isn't needed. There is no spur on the left of the plane.

If you are hoping to sell them to a collector, then I wouldn't do anything to them, unless there are mouse turds or some such just sitting on them. Collectors like things as found, so you could save yourself the trouble. I'm a user, but I generally prefer to clean things up myself-- everyone has their own ideas about how much they like to clean, derust, etc.

My two were gonna be really disappointed to find out they’d been emasculated. I know the older one had one cuz I screwed around a long time getting the screw to work right.

****. I read that last sentence, even read “left”, thought yeah my nickers are on “that” side, and reached a conclusion.

So i was in that document reading about the #80 and saw the entry on the 78, remembered i had just read this thread, and read about the story. Wasn’t looking it up intentionally.
