Lot No: 7 in our September 2021 auction is a rather nice antique 7 ¾” x 2 ½” Scottish pattern cast steel parallel sided smoothing plane with Robert Sorby parallel iron and mahogany infill, in good used condition.
This is a very nice little plane that seems to be put together with some degree of attention to detail, this includes the inclusion of a strike button to the front bun to eliminate damage when hit with a mallet to retract the iron.
Estimate £80-120
This is perfectly usable with some work fettling it in and would serve the user well and has some merits that a collector would appreciate.
Note: This is just a preview article of one of the items from our September Auction 2021.
