FINE RARE TYPE STANLEY NO. 25 ROSEWOOD & BRASS SLIDING T BEVEL - 8"

Crisp fine condition with original bluing on the blade. Type 4 Variation 5  with the 2-8-98 patent date stamp as per Chaptico Wood. Eric Benson states that this variation is rare. "The author theorizes the 2-8-98 patent for try squares was used to extend the "Hand-y Grip" exclusivity as long as possible and used for less than a year.... Variations 1 & 5 are some of the least common out of all 31 variations...."
