The brass lever cap has ring hooked on the left cheek, which was alleged to make it easier to replace the cutter. 18" sole, 2-1/4" cutter marked only "Steel." There's a big chip out of the end of the tote, but otherwise a very clean example of a very rare plane. From the collection of Cliff Sapienza. Good+ 1500-3000
