The latest acquisition to my everyday tool selection, this 1960′s vintage Stanley ‘Two-Tone’ plane. It suffered from a few decades of neglect, but with a good deal of polishing and tuning, it now has a permanent home on my bench.

As far as the history of this jewel, I found out that the Stanley ‘Two-Tone’ line was a series that ran concurrent with other types from the ‘50′s to 60’s and possibly as late as the 1970′s. They were somewhat similar to the standard Stanley planes, but with cheaper features and marketed in department stores and other non-traditional retailers.

I don’t know a much at all about this line of Stanley planes, and there are other Stanley tools manufactured with the ‘Two-Tone’ name, such as bit braces, chisels and screwdrivers.  I’ve noticed that there is no logo cast into the lever cap, but it has ‘TWO-TONE by Stanley’ stamped on the cutter.

If ANYONE has more information on the ‘Two-Tone’ line, or just enjoys discussing vintage hand tools, PLEASE feel free to comment.
