Below are the production dates for each Record plane and spoke shave. These dates are primarily based on when they appeared in various catalogues or price lists and, subsequently, when they were last listed. However, it should be noted that the Record planes dropped from production during World War 2 remained in catalogues and price lists for some time until all remaining stock had been exhausted. Click the above link for more details.
Interestingly the No. 311 Bullnose & Rabbet Plane, which was initially in production from 1935 to 1982, was re-introduced in 1987 and stayed in production until 1994.
