B56-403. SCREW-ARM PLOW PLANE. E.W. Carpenter. Rare handled version of the screw arm plow patented in 1838 by Carpenter. Boxwood body, arms and outer nuts; tote is a separate piece of rosewood attached by brass brackets, fence is boxwood and rosewood. The locking nuts are rosewood, and where most examples are badly chipped, these are very clean with a couple of minor chips. The threads are absolutely immaculate, clear Lancaster stamp on the toe. Minor chips around the locking wedges on the shoulder, cutter spalled, skate pitted. Overall one of the finest, cleanest example of the historic Carpenter plow we've seen.
