Good clean early SARGENT V.B.M. USA No. 406 number 4 size smoothing plane. Good original mahogany handles with low front knob with beaded base. The plane retains its original Sargent blade which is near full length. The rear handle has a basically invisible old repaired crack and I suspect the inside has been re-painted at some time. Still a very nice early 1900's American smoothing plane.

Gunmetal lever cap with good dark rosewood infill including open rear handle which is free from any damage and has its full spur.

There is an old craftsman improvement to the handle, there is a brass strip from the top of the handle down to the blade slot for extra strength. (This could ...
