A combination plane.
I have a later example from the 1930’s that isn’t quite so elegant.
You take the side off and insert various blades for doing decorative molding, rabbits, tongue and groove, etc…
Gorgeous
Moulding planer.
A work of art.
We’re a hard bunch to fool, Cederq…
I’ve never seen one that ornate. The Stanley ones are pretty decent in their own right, but this is an order better. Wonder what brand it is.
It is missing the blade, very adjustable
Gorgeous plane
too pretty to use for fear of wrecking it. BUT probably built like a rock and can’t be wrecked
Millers Falls plough plane is right. Even the simple ones cost a good bit of money today.
It’s a plough plane. Veritas currently makes one, which I have (link below). It’s a must-have if you’re a masochist (like me) who’s into hand tool woodworking.
I have the Stanley# 45, a type seven from about 1906 or so. Original Chestnut box with all the irons. Even has the original screws that came with it. The box still has a partial label on it. It’s going to my grandson whenever I leave this mortal coil. Also have the Stanley T&G plane…either a #47 or #48, along with the usual bench planes, ect.
That is a great heirloom tool to leave to him! I don’t think I have ever seen an intact Chestnut box in person.
I love all of those tools. The designs are so elegant and clever. More than that, I love the silence of the shop while turning raw wood into a nice piece of furniture.
has a few of them I picked up over the years. and a almost complete set of blades
had a buddy that was a union nail banger as I called him. he fell in love with the damn things. so we worked out a deal, he made me a couple of gun boxes like the old days and I gave him the planes. had stanley 45 and I think a 46.
not sure about the blades though, but they came in a very stout canvas like roll.
I don’t think I paid over 20 bucks for any of it at farm and yard sales back in the 1980’s kansas. (army time) they where neat to look at, but a pain in the ass to set up and use . they spent more time sitting on a shelf than n my workbench.

That Veritas planer is cheap at $259….compared to the Miller Falls plane at $8,995!
