It looks like a Stanley no.78. Is there a name on the cutter?

It's one of the oddities of American plane manufacture that the plane manufacturer's name was often found only on the cutting iron.  Could also be a Craftsman or Wards (made, likely, by Stanley, although perhaps by Millers Falls, which had pretty much the same design after the Stanley patents expired).  Probably not Sargent, which tended not to have an adjuster.
