Sold Antique plough (or plow) woodworking plane by AMES

[robgul]

An antique wooden plough plane made by Ames (research suggests 1830-1850) - in good conditon for its age with no woodworm. Complete with blade (probably needs sharpening). It's unusual having an inlaid (ivory?) gauge strip marked in inches to set the side rail.

It's stamped AMES (the maker ) and also has two other names stamped on it - R Broadhurst & W Hope - assumed to be previous owners/users of the plane.

£30.00

Collection from Stratford-upon-Avon or I will send worldwide at cost (overseas buyers responsible for any import costs) Please PM if interested.

It might be worth adding a couple of photos from the front and bottom. Shots that show the profile of plane sole, width of the blade, state of skids and blades.

It looks like there are wedges missing that would hold the side rails at a set position. Is that corrrect?

That inlaid scale is interesting- never seen that before.
