Stanley 69 hand beader
offered 1898 - 1917
5 inches long with 6 cutters
(5 plus blank after 1909)
Uses cutters like the 66 or the 72 1/2. Plane body is nickel plated
with a beech handle.
Missing cutters are not a big problem because
replacements can be found. Major problem with this little tools is the
ferrule at the end of the handle. It's often cracked. Watch out for
replaced, fixed or broken lever caps. The two horns that fit over the
cross bar easily break.
Note the three different cap screws in the 3 pictures. I have
observed this tool with all three versions.
