I'm on the hunt for a replacement tote for my Stanley #7 Type 13 hand plane and I'm curious which other sizes might work with it. I'm planning to check out a flea market next week, so I'd like to know what other planes I should keep an eye out for that have a tote of the same size.

You can look for totes from any Stanley hand planes starting at size #4 and going up. Just keep in mind that the #4 doesn't have the base screw, so it won't fit your #7. If you can find parts from #5 or larger, they should work great!
Pretty sure the two-bolt tote used on the larger Stanley planes will fit. I'm actually restoring a Stanley #7c of the same type, so I totally get where you're coming from!
True, the #5 and up would be compatible. For those who want to get crafty, you might even consider making your own tote! There's a decent template available online for that.
