B59-546 BEVELING PLANE. Tidey Patent. Marcus B. Tidey of Dundee, New York, was actually only one of the four patentees of this monstrosity - it was obviously a plane designed by committee - but he was also the manufacturer, so it is forever know as the Tidey plane to collectors, many of whom would cheerfully exchange one of their children for an example. This is the beech version with boxwood nuts and arms, the wood is near perfect, and the brass bracket that is used to position the two beveling fences has never been polished; the name of M. B. Tidey & Co. and the patent date are faint but clear. What else do we need to say? It's a Tidey patent in fine condition, one of the holy grails of plane collecting; grab it quick before it gets away. Fine 9000-18000
