help identifying manufacture

[Fatboy]

I found this in a bin yesterday badly rusted and with a cracked blade but haven't been able to identify it. I've de rusted it and would quite like to get a new blade for it but don't know where to start looking. The only 'identifying' mark is No 15

Hi Fatboy, I feel as if I'm being rude calling you that.
Your nicely de-rusted tool looks like a concave spokeshave. These are being suggested as useful amongst the windsor chair making community. I think Veritas do one, there may be others. An interesting evening awaits you trawling the web for more information.
A good start may be with a search for 'concave shave', or 'concave spokeshave', via your favourite search engine.

Looks similar to the Kunz 55.

haha its been a nickname since I as at school - and I'm not particularly fat either so no offence taken!

I had already searched concave spokeshaves to try to identify the make, not that its that important, just trying to put a name to the maker really. The closest match I could find was a Sargent 22 spokeshave.

Thanks for the replies

Couldn't help but have a gander around. The nearest I got, visually, is the Faithfull:- http://www.faithfulltools.com/p/FAISSTWIN. At least the blade looks very similar.
