Looks like my early Stanley #113 radius plane in upper left tray.

If I recall correctly, the adjustment knob seems to ring a bell as being by the "Sargent" tool company ?

No, unfortunately not.
You might be right: I've no idea; it doesn't look like most pictures I've seen of Stanleys or Records, although...
It certainly looks a lot like that one. Do you have any photos of the knob?

The most modern version was designated the # 20, the older version the # 113. On each model the sole can be adjusted for both concave and convex work.

Would this help in identifying it?
To my untrained eyes, it looks to be a 4a or later as the scale is graduated, and possibly is an 8a (decorative knob).

yesterday I acquired some wood .
A mate who's on a loft job rang and said you want wood for the log burner, bit to good to chop for fire and some decent bits of 9" x 3" too. What could I make ?
And this afternoon I acquired this
tiltable machine vice , I'm not really sure why it's not that well made and too big for the small table on me drill press .
probably because it was two miles away and £20 ,
and I've already got a small cheap crappy thing more than suitable for what I'll ever do.

Type 4a is the closest match to my plane.

I'd seen that page and the graduated scale suggests that it is probably an 8a if it's a Stanley. It doesn't have the Stanley writing on the Knob like @Arc Tourist's one; it's more decorative. Having said that, the pictures I've seen of an 8 show a knob decorated all over so I guess it might be a Sargent
