Formed in warm, well-figured beech and fitted with its original iron and wedge, this compact plane has developed an even, time-earned patina that reflects decades of workshop use. Its sculpted profile, narrow proportions, and rich surface color make it an ideal accent for a gentleman’s desk, library shelf, or workshop display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMolding block planes of this type were staple tools in British joinery and patternmaking shops at the turn of the 20th century. Their size and specialized form made them particularly useful for fine shaping work where larger bench planes could not reach, especially for refining staff beads, rounded rails, and narrow curved trims used on stair parts, window surrounds, and fitted furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 5-1\/4” x 1-3\/4” x 1-1\/2” (not including iron)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 5.8 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition notes: Very good antique condition overall. Beechwood stock displays even surface wear and scattered small marks consistent with age and long workshop use, with no structural cracks or losses noted. Steel iron shows light surface patina and appears reasonably sharp but has not been sharpened or tested in use. Brass wear button and wedge fit securely, and iron seats properly within body and locks firmly in position. Plane has been lightly cleaned and waxed. Other items in photos not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnless noted, all items are hand-wrapped and gift-boxed.
