Talco was made by J.A. Chapman, a metal plane maker and joinerâs brace maker. The company is best known for its range of steel braces but also began making Stanley-type planes under the trade name âAcornâ from about 1934 onwards. Like the Stanley planes, the original Acorns were painted black on the inside of the base casting. In 1936 the company was purchased by The Stanley Works, New Britain, Conn, U.S.A., who then created The Stanley Works (Great Britain) Ltd.. The later examples of these planes were enameled in red.
