Found out my grandfather's hand plane was hiding a 1923 date under the rust

I mean, I've been cleaning up old tools for a while now, but last weekend I finally got around to restoring this Stanley No. 4 that's been sitting in my garage for like 5 years. After a vinegar bath and some serious wire brushing, the lateral adjustment lever had this faint stamp that just appeared. Took a magnifying glass and sure enough it said 1923 right there. Apparently the patent date on the plane body doesn't always match the manufacturing year, you gotta look for the batch code on the lever itself. I looked it up online and this specific version had a corrugated sole that they only made for a couple years in the early 20s. My grandpa never mentioned it to me, he just said it was his dad's old scraper. Has anyone else discovered something wild like that hidden under years of rust on a vintage tool? I'm curious if I should actually use this thing or just hang it on the wall now.
