Stanley Trademark Stamps
The following reference guide provides examples of Stanley’s trademark stamps from 1872 to the present. It is by no means comprehensive or complete, but this covers the main trademarks. There were often variations used on block planes and other tools. Some of the photos are pretty poor. I will try to photograph better examples as time goes by.

An excellent resource, thank you.
I have an unusual mark that I’ve just acquired on a ‘type 11’ 4½
Basically identical to the ‘T’ trademark but rather than New Britain, Conn, USA below the logo I have patent dates. It reads:
PAT’D 4-10-03 8-2-10
This plane was acquired in Canada, which may be a clue to the origin of the blade where this mark is stamped (as usual). It seems I cannot upload an image here unfortunately to add to the file. I will assume manufacturing date is the same bracket as the T logo.

These stamps were Stanley’s trademark markings. There aren’t any physical stamps you can just purchase today.
