That is a nice looking plane. what's it's fate to be? User? Glass Case? Re-sale?
At any rate, nice score. Those bodies really feel soooooooooooo nice in the hand.
Sorry, no gloat

>Todd,
That was just an example I had been watching. Should have mentioned in my post that I let it go without bidding. Looked for a while like it might go low. But no luck, market worked as usual.
Here's a gloat: Clark & Williams wedge-arm plough.

>Pam,
Thanks for the heads up on Tony Murland's Mathieson plough! Just checked it out. He also has a really nice Griffiths plane (New Listings) listed as a moving fillester, but looks like a sash fillester to me. Beautiful plane at $125US delivered.

>I thought it better to pay $150 than $750 for what looked like the same condition and quality. Of course, Tony doesn't show you much in the way of photos, and I didn't know whether there's a problem getting blades. They looked so much alike, I thought that maybe the ebay seller was Tony.
I'm still very happy with the Record 043 and 044, they do everything I need, so I'm not in the market for one of these wooden beauties. But they sure are beautiful, and probably work a charm. I don't need this, I don't need this, .... :)
Tony often has some great stuff at truly bargain prices, even last year a pile of NOS Japanese chisels, scrapers, and knives (seems to have one of these left). Looks like the Brits invested in huge inventory 10-15 years ago, but they didn't sell as well as they'd have liked.
