   Not an expert so I'm going out on a limb but that looks like its a Stanley made in England plane, perhaps a G12-060. Can't comment on vintage but the body casting is Stanley England, not US. That said, cleaned up and sharpened it'll work just as well.

   I do not know when they started or stopped production, but I bought one like it in the late 1980s from a hardware store going out of business. Except for a made in England No. 93, its the only Stanley plane I have purchased new. Tuned up it works fine even though I am not a fan of plastic knobs.

   Don’t know the particulars of your plane. One of the best Stanley plane resources I know of is Patrick Leach’s site Blood and Gore here:

   Looks like there’s limited dating info on your block plane tho.
