Good user quality Stanley No 4 1/2C (Corrugated) heavy smoothing plane.  The plane has been well maintained but it has obvious defects.  Most notable is the light pitting on the sole.  The steel is clean, but the pitting remains.  

The plane has two patent dates so it is a Type 9 or 10.  The japanning is worn and/or missing is some spots.  The knob and tote (handle) are clean and show no signs of repair.  The iron is in good shape and has plenty of life left.  I recommend a good sharpening before use.  

I cleaned this plane using non-abrasive techniques.  Cleaning included the removal of some light surface rust and shop grime.  After cleaning I applied a light coat of oil to help protect and rejuvenate the tote and knob.
