I just picked up a bailey No. 4 1/2 plane made in the US. Is there anyway to figure out the aproximate date or variant of this plane?

quietude,
Your going to hate me for the attachment. I copied it from somewhere with the intent of dating my planes. I think it may be from Patrick Leaches site.
It might take a while to sort through all the variations, but very helpful info. I'm pretty sure it's a 1930's plane. Thanks for the help.
Instead of that just go here and answer a couple questions, the program will tell you how old your plane is. http://www.hyperkitten.com/tools/stanley_bench_plane/dating/dating_flowchart.html#Types%201-20
