JOINTER GAUGEAttaches to all sizes of metallic planes by adjustable cams or to wooden planes by normal wood screws. Allows accurate planing of any angle and for you ham fisted types allows accurate planing at 90 degrees. I have had this minty (see japanning & plating in pics) jointer gauge sitting around for quite a while and always thot it was a Millers Falls #88 but it is just slightly different than those pictured in the MF catalogs. Turns out it is a Langdon Miter Box Co. piece from before they were acquired by MF.Here is a bit of Langdon history:“...the company faltered in 1875 and was moved from its original home in Northampton, Massachusetts, to the village of Millers Falls. There, under the guidance of David C. and George E. Rogers, production was restarted, new models were developed and the company went on to become the foremost producer of metallic miter boxes in the country. The firm, an independent entity located within the Millers Falls Company factory, enjoyed close links to the much larger operation. George E. Rogers served on the boards of both businesses, and the Millers Falls Company eventually became the sole distributor of the Langdon products. The Langdon Mitre Box Company retained its independence until 1907 when it merged with the Millers Falls Company. "
