>Here is an unused Norris A5 with 2 spare unused blades in the original box. It is up for auction on Tuesday 11th Sept at Lawrences of Bletchingley, UK item number 61. This should put a few in a tight spin down the slope

>G'day Jim, I just had a look at the plane- viewing day. There is still the factory wax on the base untouched. All three blades have the factory grind marks with only the one in the plane showing minor signs of sharpening. The blades are all marked 'Norris,London' and on the other side 'Robt Sorby,Sheffield' on the other. There is still the lacquer on the lever cap. Feels real nice in the hand. It is item 61.

>Hammer price �740 - so about �870 with commission and tax ... about $1750. I think I would rather have that in LN planes personally.
