Stanley No. 94 Shoulder Rabbet Plane

The same size from other makers
These do the same job at the same size. Parts do not interchange between makers, but the shaving does not know the difference - and where one maker commands a collector premium, another usually does not.

Other makers' answer to the same problem
These share a design lineage rather than a size. Each is its own tool with its own dimensions, and no parts interchange.
