Circa 1850\'s Combination Plow Plane H. CHAPIN No. 240 1/2 Union Factory Warr For Sale

An Very EarlyCombination Plow Planein very nice condition. I would guess the age of this tool to be from around the 1850\'s or so. It is stamped UNION FACTORYWARRANTEED H. CHAPIN NO. 240 1/2. It is also stamped in several places with the initials WS, who was probably a previous owner. The body and the fence are made of wonderful rosewood, very heavy! The screws and the knobs are constructed of other wood. The finials at the end of the screws are bone, of which one of the ball tips is missing.The depth adjuster works correctly and the adjustments for the screws work and show very minor loss. The handle is all real nice and solid, just great!!! The hold down for the cutter is also bone.The cutter with this plane may not be the original. We are selling this tool as we found it and there may be parts that were added at a later time and not original to the tool. Check out the photos to determine the condition.This is the first one like this that we have ever come across!!! It measures 12\" in length by 11\" wide by 7\" high. One you will surely want for your tool box!!!! Shipping is by FedEx ground.
