Stanley 212 scraper plane

offered 1911-1935

5 1/2"  long with  a 1 3/8" blade  

Smallest and rarest of the Stanley scrapers with a rosewood knob for one-handed use.

Old style script mark Stanley No 212 on body. Blades are often not marked, blade screws usually shows T,  V or SW logo. I don't know of any type studies but logically the T trademark on the blade screw would make that scraper a  type 1.

Watch out for pitting on the sole and excessive rust, especially around the pivoting blade clamp - you might find it seized or damaged inside. Make sure both brass nuts are the same, the outer one is frequently replaced.
