Winchester (founded 1855) started marketing tools about 1919 to fill up post war (WW I – July 28, 1914 – November 11, 1918) production capacity. Some tools they made, but to fill out the line they subcontracted some as well. The regular bench plane line was made by Sargent, and Stanley rebranded Winchester planes that were from their Bedrock line.
During the 1920’s, Stanley manufactured Type 4 Bed Rock Planes for Winchester. The planes were identical to the original Stanley’s, except for the markings on the beds. These were Winchester trademarks on the blades and frogs with twisted lateral levers. Winchester Bed Rocks had Winchester marked lever caps. (Ref http://www.antique-used-tools.com/brtypes.htm)
I haven’t confirmed when they stopped, but I’ve read it was until WWII.
