B59-408 PLOW PLANE WITH IVORY INLAY. Greenfield Tool Co. No. 561. Ebony body and fence, boxwood nuts, arms and wedge. There's a small chip from the front edge of the fence, a couple of tiny chips from the threads, but the wood is otherwise near perfect and stunning. An ivory diamond has been carefully inlaid into the top of the tote. Wm. Butcher cutter. No one really knows why nineteenth century cabinetmakers chose the plow plane to lavish exotic woods and decoration on, but this is an absolutely breathtaking example. The centerpiece of any plow plane collection. From the collection of John Sindelar. Fine 3000-6000
