I'm trying to assist someone who was a cabinet maker, specialising in furniture restoration (apprenticed in the 1950s) who now, due to ill-health, is no longer able to work wood and wishes to dispose of his tools.
In his workshop amongst the lathes, veneers, and assorted tools from 60+ years of woodworking was this Preston infill shoulder plane. It measures 8" long and is 1 1/2" wide with an infill believed to be of Rosewood. It looks to be in good condition, with a Preston iron:

What do you think would be a realistic value (selling price)?
