Stanley 203 block plane

offered 1912 - 1961

5 1/2"  long with  a 1 3/8" cutter    

Black japanned with a rosewood knob. Attractive little block plane, same size as a Stanley 1, smaller than all the block planes of similar build. This plane reportedly was designed as school or tech school block plane for manual training but it was advertised as a handy little plane for small jobs.

Early models have a lever cap with a larger "hood" and an ornate depth adjuster screw with the Stanley name on it.
