| No makers name visible but a really well made plane, the dovetails are really good especially where the back piece of gunmetal has been dovetailed into the sides and base. Has a steel bar with a wooden wedge. The wood infill is rosewood and is all original. Also has a very nice thick parallel iron by Buck which is original. The size of the plane is 4 3/4" long by 1 5/8" wide and it has a very fine mouth. This is achieved by the base being in two pieces and tongue and groove jointed at the mouth as with early Spiers mitre planes. |
