Comparing a Bed Rock plane to the standard line of bench planes Stanley offered is like comparing a Cadillac or Corvette to a regular Chevy or Vega. Both were made by Chevrolet and both are cars, but what a difference. Stanley's Bedrock planes had a unique frog design that was milled flat to match the milled bed of the plane. The standard line of Stanley planes have cast recesses where wood 'chips were prone to gather with the real possibility of throwing the plane out of adjustment.
After a short period Stanley flattened the side rails of this line of planes to make them look more distinctive from their regular offerings. First model Bedrocks were numbered 2 thru 8 and only the 3 line Bed Rock Cap and frog design distinguished them from the regular line of bench planes. Stanley soon changed their numbers to the 600 series to set them apart form the standard line of bench planes. A few years later they flattened the sides. Over the years the Bed Rock name on the lever cap changed from a 3 line Bed Rock cap, to a single line Bed Rock, then to a short lived 2 line version. Finally near the end of the production period Stanley simply went to the Stanley inscribed lever cap used on their regular line of planes. Below you will find a nice cross section of these Stanley planes. Enjoy.

Bed Rock Type 1 # 608 C Corrugated Bottom Jointer Plane
This is a Type 1 / 2 Stanley Bed Rock 608 C that dates from 1898 - 1999.
When Stanley first introduced this style of plane they numbered them like their
typical line of planes. It was not until the type 3 offered in 1900 that
they started using the 600 series to number the planes and differentiate them
from the regular line of bench planes. The type 1 / 2 Bedrocks had the
special new mated frog design but were numbered with just a single number. The other
distinguishing feature of these early Bed Rocks is that there is a milled out
area where a patent date that was in conflict with a competitors patent was
ground out. After the plane had been japanned.It has been lightly cleaned, and has a rich dark patina. There is no rust or pitting to speak of. A previous owner did scratch his name on the side with an electric pen. There is at least 80% of the of the japanning if not more. The knob and handle are the premium Rosewood of the era and very nice. The cutter is long, proper and OK. Good throat. Overall it is a very nice plane and good enough for the collection, or will be a fine user. A nice plane.
