B62-599. EARLY EUROPEAN IRON PLANE. Iron rectangular body with 6" sole. Unlike most planes of this vintage, the rear part of the body is solid to provide a bed for the 1-1/2" cutter. Shaped wooden wedge that is replaced. Part of Cliff Sapienza's collection of fifteenth and sixteenth century planes from the alpine area of Northern Italy and Switzerland. In fine condition for its age, a museum quality example of the earliest days of European iron tools. Fine 800-1600
