Stanley

Millers Falls made great planes. I can remember going to Spags in Worcester, when I was starting out. Got a Langdon miter box(still with me) and 2, No 9 smooth planes with the two piece lever cap. I would argue these smoothers are a step up from a Stanley 4, and recently have seen quite an uptick in value. I did swap out the iron for a Hock on one of them and it has performed very well.
I have quite a few planes in my till and while I don't use them as much as I used to, when I do certain operations they are like old friends.
I can understand your desire to lighten the load but In my experience I've always experienced sellers remorse when they're gone
