Stanley Marking Gauge 90 Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Marking Gauges
Manufacturer: Stanley
Tool Type: Marking Gauge
Model No: 90
The Stanley marking gauge number 90 is a single rod gauge with a head
which slides on a 6 1/4 - 6 1/2 inch rod.
The gauge is marked with measurements running the length of the rod.
The measurements go up to 5 inches with each inch broke down into increments,
some I believe are 1/8" increments and some 1/16" increments.
Possibly the earlier versions were 1/8" increments as the one photographed
with the Stanley Rule & Level nut was 1/8" increments.
In the 1920's they were advertised as 1/16" increments.
The rod has a tempered point at the top end of the pole for scribing
the wood.
There are a few different types of head; one with black Stanley
paint and one with nickel plate. The nickel plated design was produced
in the 1930's and before.
The earliest Stanley 90 gauges were made by Stanley Rule & Level Co.
"Stanley" - found on the underside of the stock/head.
"No. 90" - found on the underside of the stock/head.
"Stanley Rule & Level Co, New Britain Con USA" - found on the adjuster.
"Stanley" - found on the underside of the stock/head.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
