Here we have the real star of the show so to speak and without any doubt the best piece in my collection. It is an EXTREMELY RARE specially made NORRIS of London No. 20E steel soled gunmetal shoulder plane. It is adjustable having the patented 1913 adjustment system which is rare enough in one of these planes but it is also SKEW mouthed. Not only that but it is also COMPLETELY UNUSED retaining all its original lacquer to the gunmetal and to the wood and has its original green felt bag. The infill on this plane is EBONY and the blade is obviously full length and original. I have never seen another one of these planes with a skew mouth and certainly none in this condition. I believe it to be unique, obviously having been specially made for someone with an awful lot of money at the time. I have never used it bit would imagine it would be un-surpassed even to a Holtey.
