These planes were made until the 80’s in the US, then in England. I can’t find new ones for sale anywhere, so I guess they’re not made anymore….

How these companies relate to one another is a bit confusing, they’re all on this plane and blade. This site clears some of it up. This book might…

No maker’s mark on this one. Blade isn’t original, just found one that fit. Sanded it a little, wiped it with a linseed/beeswax mixture.

There’s not too much detailed information out there, that I’ve found, about Handyman planes. This one might be a C-32, or a 1220, or neither of those. I…

Not cleaned up at all. I haven’t spent enough time with this site to figure out which model this is, exactly. I do know that lots of these…

Not touched, except to wipe the loose dirt off. Looks complete, including Stanley iron. The tote and knob are different colors, leading me to believe that one was…
