Thank you much for the information.
I paid $US5, so, given condition, it is a reasonable 1990' price. About my limit
for a non-user, though I might go to $US20 for a #1 plane in recognizable
condition.
I knew pre-1920 by the name, but could find nothing in a quick search to narrow
it more. Not that it is critical, as it is not a pristine example and I have
seen better, though for a price I have no interest in paying ($ to $25 in 1996
does not equate with $US100 today for a well worn tool, which I also saw today.
Same guy that wanted $250 for a 16# fisher anvil with a well-worn face and
spalled edges)

Walters is pertty old by now - 1996 - but I find he is still good for relative
rarity. The #84 is listed at $5-25, the lowest set of numbers he uses, so it
must not be too rare. Even the lowly 62 is higher.
If you mean giving dates for the various logos, Walter doesn’t have anything
besides saying that the business was called the Stanley Rule and Level company
until 1920 when the Sweethart logo cam in. I looked in Phil Stanley;s Boxwood
and Ivory and he notes that the “USA” was added but does not give a dat. There
was a change in 1879 that probably menas yours is before that, so 1858-1879??
Very unsatisfying chapter 3, on page 31

Second, the collector: Stanley Rule and Level No. 84 folding rule. I Can't find
any type study that I can find photos of in about an hour of avoiding
work--^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H-- searching the web. Does a type study exist?
or was there so little variation before the 1920's that there is only one type?
This is not a user, unfortunately, as the wood is quite warped. Sure is pretty,
though.
