Certainly manufactured, and probably patented, but the patent is unknown. It falls into the same class of core box planes as the Bayley and Lewis patents, with locking fences and a cutter that rotates with each pass of the plane. Appears identical to the plane pictured in PTAMPIA I, Figure 275, which has the name W.H. Groat cast into the fence, except that this one is brass, with partial black paint, rather than cast iron, has a conventional tote, and is missing the Groat name (or any other). It also comes with a set of five different cutters of different sizes and shapes, and a second cutter holder for small cuts, all housed in a repurposed wooden box. The most elaborate core box plane of the type we've seen, and works smoothly. See also lot 537.

Based on Chaplin's first 1872 patent and manufactured by Tower & Lyon. Original cutter marked with the dates both for the Chaplin's patent and Tower's 1876 patent for the cast iron tote, but the design is actually Johnson & Torkelson's 1888 patent with the adjustable throat. See PTAMPIA I, Fig. 192. 9" corrugated sole, 2" cutter. Light rust on cutter and some pitting on tote, 70% nickel loss on lever cap, light wear to knob, otherwise very clean. The throat adjustment was awkward to use and expensive to make; only a small number of the Chaplin patent planes include this feature. From the collection of Harold Unruh.
