Rare... Exquisite...Antique small carpenters wood plane. Signed by maker also..R.G. CAPON! Never refinished or does it look like if it has ever been used!
5" LONG BY 1 3/8" WIDE BY 1 1/2" HIGH AT MIDDLE
Great collectors piece! Uniquely leaded in 2 places for weight!
An old cabinet maker said this about it....
I THINK IT MAY BE WHITE OAK OR ASH BUT I AM NOT SURE.
I HAVE SEEN MANY VARIETIES OF THIS TYPE OF PLANE BUT NEVER SEEN ONE THIS SMALL AND PERFECTLY MADE.
I BELIEVE IT IS RARE AND VERY UNIQUE, AND PROBABLY ONE OF A KIND!
I AM NOT A COLLECTOR, I AM A RETIRED OHIOCABINET MAKER AND I USED MANY PLANES .
THIS IS A VERY USEABLE PLANE BUT I WOULD NEVER USE IT, ITS TOO BEAUTIFUL.
IT ALREADY HAS A PERFECT AND SHARPLY HONED EDGE.
THERE IS SOME RUSTING ON THE CUTTER DUE TO ITS OLD AGE.
IT WAS MADE TO PERFECTION! A PIECE OF ART IN TOOLS!
