For the same price that most wanted for their
I couldn't pass them up. They came home with me. Price tag: $60 each.
However, the planes themselves, have no makers mark. No users mark. They are a mystery to me that I would like to find additional information on. From the type of wood, to the possible maker. Construction of the two planes is almost identical. The only difference I've been able to find is on the back of the wedge - the relief hole for the chip breaker screw is not identical. I am not sure if this identifies it as a user made plane, or if it is a user modification.
The only identifying marks I have been able to find are:
- Both Chip Breakers: + Robt Sorby Sheffield
- One iron: Auburn Tool Co., Thistle Brand, Auburn N.Y.
- One iron: Spear & Jackson, Warranted, Cast Steel
