The 1911-1943 Stanley Bedrock planes (the “flat-sided” models) are much more desirable than the pre-1911 (“round-sided”) ones.

Maybe for a collector, but the “round-sided Stanleys will plane every bit as well and don’t weigh as much - which can be advantageous. If you do a lot of stock prep with hand planes, you don’t want extra weight to wear you out.
