Description
This antique woodworking tool is a jointer plane, identified by its elongated rectangular stock designed for straightening the edges of long boards. The body is constructed from a solid block of wood, likely beech, and features a hand-shaped closed-grip tote. The assembly includes a steel cutting iron secured within the throat by a fitted wooden wedge. The exterior of the tool shows a warm, aged patina throughout. A white paper tag marked with the handwritten characters 495 A is attached to the handle. No maker’s marks, manufacturer stamps, or patent dates are visible on the wood or the metal iron.
