B63-650. TURNTABLE PLANE. Foster Patent. Very rare example of Edwin Foster's 1907 patent for a bench plane with a frog that can be rotated up to 45 degrees to either side. Manufactured by Ohio Tool Co. and with an OTC "Globe" cutter. The whole story is at PTAMPIA I, page 218. 9-3/4" sole with "101" cast behind the knob and the patent date cast behind the frog. Tote has a split at the base that was reglued at little sloppily and a chip from the end, japanning 90%. A prior owner has glued four felt discs to the sole for display purposes. One of the holy grails for collectors of weird and ultimately doomed patented planes. From the Dan and Myrna Coleman collection. Good 2000-4000
