You are bidding on one Shiverick & Company wood handrail or handrail wreath molding or moulding plane as pictured.It is marked "SHIVERICK & CO BROOKLYN" on the front end, and unmarked on the back end. Overall length of the body is about 9-1/2".It has the double irons as can be seen, and both irons are marked "DWIGHTS FRENCH & CO WARRANTED CAST STEEL", but both marks are much taller than the tails of the irons are wide.David Shiverick made planes under this imprint from 1865 to 1867 in Brooklyn, New York. Please see the book American Wooden Planes 4th Edition for more information about him, and it rates this mark as two stars for rarity.And please see John Whelan's book The Wooden Plane pages 373-374 for a discussion of handrail and handrail wreath planes. I have seen a lot of handrail planes over the years, collected them for a while, but have never seen a double iron handrail plane that I can remember.Condition is very good, with a variety of minor dings and scratches in the wood. Both wedges and both irons appear original to the plane.SHIPPING: 3 pounds. Full insurance is included in the postage cost. International shipping will be by Priority Mail, which is very expensive.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 finding me faster than I can list them. So please keep watching my auctions as I have LOTS more to list! Or if there is something specific that you are looking for, please let me know so that I can get it listed for you to consider.Searching my listings: I have lots to see, but undoubtedly not all of it is interesting to you. I suggest you That will lead you to my extensive system of categories.You might ask: How can I know when you start new listings? The answer: please ETHICS IN DESCRIPTIONS: I also buy for my collecting on eBay, and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and auctions with pictures only of the left side because the right side was trashed. Life is much simpler for me if I disclose what I know or see about an item before you bid, and especially before you receive it in the mail. I come from the handshake school of doing business, and hopefully you are like me and understand what that means. What goes around, comes around.RETURN POLICY: I believe that if you give honest descriptions, and include enough pictures, you shouldn't need a return policy. However, that doesn't mean that I won't make an occasional mistake. Please bid with the assurance that if I have made an error in my listing, I WILL take care of you. And if you have made an error, and bought the wrong size, for example, I will still take care of you (but I'll let you pay the shipping!).SHIPPING INSIDE THE US: I would rather that you spend your money on my stuff, and not on shipping. So I try to pick the best shipping option for each listing, based on what is the least expensive, and what is needed to protect the item. I package well, and have a great track record of getting everything to each buyer, and getting it there in one piece. I use the US Post Office for everything, and I often find it is cheaper to use their Priority Mail flat rate boxes for heavier items (see below).WASHINGTON STATE BIDDERS: I hate to do this, but if I ship to a Washington address, no matter where you actually live, I either have to charge Washington State sales tax, or receive a valid resale form.AUCTIONS: I won't end an auction listing early to sell it to you directly. As a bidder, I really dislike going back at the end of an auction to bid, only to... read more
