Never seen a Sorby infill plane but I have seen lots of infills with Sorby irons including Norris.

Pictures please.

Edit,

I only joined this forum to seek advise on an infill plane with Sorby Iron and I'm still here and so is this plane

mr p has kindly offered to put up the pictures for me so hopefully will have pics up soon
thank you

 

[Mr_P]

and here they are

Looks good imvho apart from the front infill

Is the iron parallel ? Same thickness at top and bottom ?
Main body crack free ?

 

[ghostrider]

thank you putting them up
iron is thicker at bottom than top

don't really know any thing about the plane just wondered whether to sell or throw

its missing some infill

would it be worth selling

not going to keep it would never use or need it

just curious on value realy

thanks

 

[ghostrider]

just noticed the lever cap is 2 metals brass? and a piece of bronze ? see pic 3 you can just see it on lever cap

 

[Mr_P]

Def worth selling, hard to value min £30 plus carriage maybe more unless it has a name on the lever cap then a lot more

Another 4 pictures from you, apologies only this one worth posting. Iron not very exciting since its tapered.

DON'T throw it.....and do some research before selling.

 

[jimi43]

Definitely don't throw it away.

It's a bit of a mess but definitely restorable given the right care and time.

Lever cap looks strange as has been said....mmm.

I would probably be interested in restoring it but as I have a number of projects on the go right now...tempting!

What would you be willing to accept for it...PM me if you like and we can discuss.
