You are bidding on one as-is bronze shoulder plane as pictured.It is marked "A G CLARK" (probably an owner) on the back end, and "W THACKERAY PLANE MAKER ARMLEY WORKS" on the iron.The body is about 7-3/4" in length, and about 1-1/2" in width.The sole is steel with no visible fasteners.It weighs about 3 pounds 1 ounce on my postal scale.It has three issues. One, the iron has been repaired or brazed as can be seen. It was neatly done. Putting a straightedge on the iron yields a gentle bow with a gap of less than a 16th in the middle on the non-logo side. The repair adds a bit to the bow, but the iron is not kinked or bent at the repair.Two, the wedge has been modified, which seems really strange. It is now a loose fit, and doesn't hold the iron as tightly as it should.And three, the screw that should hold the rear infill piece of wood is missing.If not for those 3 issues, condition would be very good, with some patina or tarnish on the bronze, some dings in the back end, and the upper end of the iron is slightly peened over. This will be a nice plane with some restoration!SHIPPING: 4 pounds when boxed, insurance is included. No International shipping (see below if you are in Canada).I sell what I enjoy, and I collect antique woodworking tools and I enjoy photography! The queue is overflowing with tools right now, as they seem to be
