Talk:Hand plane

One of the most famous manufacturers of planes was Stanley, of England, which implemented a patent by a man named Bailey. The planes were generally of cast iron body, and are still produced to this day, although in greatly reduced numbers and types. Some of these planes are now collectors items and fetch large sums from people who obsess over them.

Stanley was NOT "of England", Frederick Trent Stanley established a shop New Britain, Connecticut in 1843 to manufacture hardware from wrought iron.
