I have 2 #3 Stanley hand planes one with a dark colored handle which I purchased. One with a lighter colored handle which is my Dad's I have included several pictures.
There are differences in the adjustment knobs & & the handle on Dad's plane has rounded sides the one I purchased has flat sides. I think the casting on the one I purchased seems to be a little thicker.
I am thinking the Dad's plane is the older 1 of the 2.
Can anyone tell me anything about these planes?
