Found this gem yesterday -

Wooden box too - I've only seen cardboard ones before.
..and inside

looks all complete

It looks almost brand new too

Blades show little wear and all are quite sharp

It's pristine!

Given that I don't own a plough plane and will make good use of it I thought it was a bargain at £18

Nice tool, and a good price for mint in box, like you say you haven't got one so you struck gold my friend

You get manky ones on eBay that cost almost that for postage (about £11 p&p)

Hope it serves you well, personally im not a fan of combination planes.

Nice buy; I suspect the box was user made; it's quite a late tool (it has the blade holding side-screw in addition to the normal clamp).

Thanks for the info Bugbear- I had only seen cardboard boxes before so wasn't sure if perhaps it was an early model, as you say the blade holding screw suggests otherwise!
I guess the fact the owner made a box for it and applied the labels to it is testament to someone who cared and looked after their tools, I really ought to uphold that tradition
