The Stanley block planes listed below are variations of, similar to, or evolved from the basic # 9 1/2 design Stanley block plane. The 9 1/2 block plane went through a series of changes in its design over its 100 year span of production. The differences between the planes listed here are as subtle as finish differences, like polished, nickel, or japanned fittings, cap style, an extra 1" in length as with the 18 & 19, or with the 60 series where the cutter is set at a lower angle than the 9 1/2 family of planes were.
Note: The throats on all of the planes are good unless otherwise noted. Many sellers of block planes never address and buyers are never told of the condition of this critical aspect. These planes are prone to damage w/ stress cracks at the edges, or chips along the edge and the condition of the throat needs to be considered.
Stanley
# A 18 Block Plane
Stanley made these
planes during the mid 20's after Aluminum became a plentiful and cheap material
to use. They are cute, lighter than their cast iron counterparts, and
certainly harder to find as they were only made for about 10 years or so.
It was a poor choice of material, and they never really caught on with the
buying consumer. The scratched easily, and they sometimes develop a rusting /
rot This one has some light scratches in the sole and a few surface black
spots that will clean. A pretty nice example.

The #203 block
plane is a hard to find Stanley block plane. It is a small high angle plane
with pretty standard features but was only made or offered for a very limited period
of time. Both are nice examples.
