Lot No: 9 in our September 2021 auction is an antique S. SKILLEN 18th century complex beechwood moulding plane measuring 9’ 3/8” long in good used condition. Minor odd random old worm holes, nothing serious but want to be clear that it does have them as its hard to see.
Estimate £30+
Well given, this is certainly 18th century and such a good complex shape this already comes into the uncommon category. Does it look to have been shortened? Not really as there is no evidence of this. Is it a ZB mark? No. Although it’s clearly stamped where you would expect a maker’s mark with S. SKILLEN which isn’t recorded.
It’s Interesting to say the least.
Note: This is just a preview article of one of the items from our September Auction 2021.
