Hi Folks,
Seeking assistance from the tool experts out there - I was at a rural crafts fair today in South Norfolk and picked up this little shoulder plane on a tool stall mainly selling engineering tools but there were a few woodworking tools as well.
Anyway it is 6" long on the sole and 5/8" wide with a nice blade with plenty of life left - the infill is rosewood and whilst there is a very light stamp on the blade and the inside of the plane these markings are not legible - the photos do not really do it justice and it sits in the hand beautifully - need a sharpen but am very pleased with it - especially as I only paid £20 for it!!
Any ideas of a maker or is it an apprentices piece, if the latter it is extremely high quality
