There is no date on this, however, considering the age and the likeness of this plane to a STANLEY No. 7 Type 8 "Similar Frog" it could be very early 1900's, but would have to be between the years 1900 at the earliest and 1919 at the latest.

Internet found info: The standard jointer. This #7, along with a #4 and a #5 , is part of most woodworkers' hand tool arsenals. The jointer is used to true an edge (make it straight) or face (make it flat). This task is usually now done by finger-eatin' machinery, however, there are many de-evolutionists who delight in using these cast iron marvels. Show just how tightly wound you are when you wow your pals with the tightly wound shavings that these planes produce. There are a lot of folks out there who believe that these longer planes have to be perfectly flat in order for them to work. Good luck finding one that's perfectly flat, as they don't exist, all of which is proof enough that the old timers, who depended upon these tools for their livelihood, could make effective use of them in a non-perfect state. Thing is, you can, too. Internet found company tool info: A huge 21 and 1/2 inch Union No. 7 Iron Jointer Plane. The UNION Manufacturing Co. of New Britain,Conn USA existed from 1880-1919, they manufactured Planes from 1900 until the company was acquired by STANLEY around 1920. The Union planes were virtual copies of the STANLEY planes of the time. Except The Union Manufacturing Co. planes did feature a thicker blade and wider knob . STANLEY operated their own factories and headquartered in New Brittan, Conn they'd snap up the local competition early.  A note on shipping:  No matter which shipping you choose, we reserve the right to upgrade to an insured shipper or change the shipper based on the charge we will incur for additional insurance on this item.  If you require one shipper over another (UPS vs USPS), you must notify us in advance and should be willing to agree to an additional charge for the added insurance.  If shipping seems high, USPS charges an additional $4 surcharge on any parcel shipped with  with any side exceeding 22” in length.
