Stanley 47  Adjustable Dado Plane

offered 1876 - 1923

10 1/2" long with 5 or 6 cutters, depending on model. Sizes: 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 7/8, 1 1/4 and later addition 13/16"

Doesn't show up often and if it does it's usually sold as a 46. Stanley used a slightly modified version of the 46 and later models actually have the number 46 cast in the front.  The most obvious difference: Short rods, no fence, depth stop eliminated from main body (see insert picture for comparison) If in doubt don't buy the ones with the model number on the side and stay away from the ones that come with a guard plate (see 46)
