I have been collecting antique tools for 25 years. Now it is time to pass them on to someone else who can enjoy them also. It has not been tuned or recently sharpened. There is japanning missing, a some rust spots and some scratches.
The three patent dates on the lateral adjustment lever are difficult to read. The patent date on the cutter iron is Apr 19 92 (short for 1892).
Please see my photos for these and any other condition issues. This item falls under the categories of planes, carpentry, woodworking, tools, hardware & locks, and collectibles.
