This is a black painted hardwood handle that is designed to fit vintage Stanley planes No. 5, 6, 7, 8, and some others as well, such as the Bedrock planes in the same sizes, 605, 606, 607, & 608. It is in very good condition with no damage or cracks, some very minor finish issues, but appears to have never been used. Although this type of handle was made to fit any of the Stanley number planes listed above during the period from 1946-1947 when there was a shortage of Rosewood, this handle will fit the same type planes dating back to 1907, although the older planes originally had Rosewood handles, where this one is hardwood.
