- All of the features of the previous, except:
- The lateral adjustment lever makes its debut. It has two patent
dates, "2-8-76" and "10-21-84", stamped into it, along with the
word "STANLEY". The lateral lever is a one-piece construction,
with its portion that engages the slot in the iron being straight
across.
- Top of the frog no longer rounded as before. The top is more a
flattened arch-shape.
- The number is now cast into the main casting; i.e. on the smaller
planes, at the toe, and on the heel, #5 and up.
- The trademark stamped into the iron is the same as before, except
that "STANLEY" is in a straight line, in large letters, and the
rest of the logo immediately below, in small letters.
