History & BIO:
Leondard Bailey was a tool designer in the 19th century. Working on his own and later for Stanley Rule and Level Co. (now Stanley Black & Decker), designed Bailey, Victor, and Defiant bench planes, or tools used to smooth the surface of wood. His designs became models for most planes made after the mid-1800s.
Until May 1869, Bailey ran his own factory – Bailey, Chaney, & Co. – which he sold to Stanley Rule and Level Co., giving them the right to manufacture tools under his patents. However, in 1875, after inventor Justus Traut patented the No.110 block plane Stanley had, had in production for several months, Bailey terminated his contract with Stanley, claiming that sales of the plane cut into his royalties. less
