Hi dborn!
You are right about the wheel. It´s steel, not aluminum. I just tested with a magnet. The nuts are aluminum.
All Stanley planes “made in England” with plastic handles and stamped G12-005 (Stanley #5) are made after 1983. That´s the only clue I can find on the internet. This one only says Made in England so it must be a pre 1983 plane. My guess would also be the 70´s.
About the Stanley Plane Dating Flowchart. It´s for planes made in the US.
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate that.
