B68-654 SMOOTHING PLANE. Metallic Plane Co. Nice clean example of the "Perfected" line in the 8" smoother size, based on Palmer & Storke's 1871 patent. The cutter is not adjustable, and this model is actually much harder to find than the later models with elaborate adjustment mechanisms. Adjustable throat, corrugated sole, applewood tote and knob with moderate wear, marked on the left cheek, original marked cutter with mark obscured by surface corrosion. See PTAMPIA I, pp. 172-73. From the collection of Harold Unruh. Good 100-200
