RARE Miniature Patented Adjustable Block Plane - 81318U - AS OF JULY 18

$ 1,400.00
Item #: 81318U

Only 3 5/8 inches long. The iron is 7/8 inch wide. Completely unmarked. One of only three known. One of the others was offered in the March 31, 2012 Brown's Auction catalog. This one is the same as the other two, but has a 50 degree high angle frog and double iron. The unique cutter adjustment is facilitated by a worm gear, which affects a flat lug protruding from the back of the iron. It's an extremely high quality plane. We have been able to find no patent information. The double knurled thumbscrews are somewhat similar to Chaplin's type planes.
