The HOYD thread has solved so many issues, answered so many questions, and converted so many people, that I wondered if the same thing might be true for spoke shaves. With my apologies to Bertha, for borrowing the title somewhat from his epic thread.
I thought I'd post some pics, to help define which numerical designation your spoke shave might be. I have a bunch which I can't easily identify, the Stanleys have been copied in other foundries to one degree of success or another.
so, here goes:
#51
Record, 9 3/4" Long, 2 11/16" cutter
Stanley 10", 2 1/8" cutter
Stanley 10 1/8" 2 1/8" cutter
generic 10 1/8", 2 1/16" cutter
generic10 1/8", 2 1/8" cutter
#52 Kunz 9 3/8" , 2 1/16" cutter
#53 Stanley Split blade, 10 1/8", 2 1/16" cutter
#60 Stanley tandem, SW, 10 7/8", 1 1/2" each cutter
Kunz 9 5/8" 1 1/4" curved, 1 5/8" straight
Stanley 9 5/8" 1 1/4" curved, 1 3/4" straight
#64 Stanley #64 8 3/4" 1 3/4" cutter
#A64 Record, 8 1/2" 1 3/4" cutter
generic #64, 8 7/8", 1 3/4" cutter
#65 Kunz w/ chamfer guides 10 1/2, 1 1/2" cutter and rounded sole.
#65 Stanley 10 3/8", 1 1/2" cutter, rounded sole.
Ooops… no pic..
#63, Stanley, 10 7/8, 1 11/16" cutter
Some unknowns:
generic 9 1/4", 2 1/8 with chipbreaker?
generic 9" , 1 3/4"
Stanley, half-moon logo on cutter, 9 3/4", 2 1/16" cutter
