B57-455 STOP CHAMFER PLANE. Lee Patent. Cast iron version of Joseph Lee's iconic stop chamfer plane are rare enough; this is the gunmetal version which makes hen's teeth look common. Joseph Lee was constantly fiddling with the design and it sometimes seems that no two are alike; this one has a locking screw for a single cutter (missing) and also has a hinged plate, attached to the fence, that is designed to hold the other edge of the cutter, which we've never seen on any other example. Lee's name and patent date are clearly cast into the body. There's some light pitting on the iron arms, but overall very clean example of one of the true holy grails of patented planes, destined to be the centerpiece of any advanced collection.
