S. ASHTON - SHEFFIELD STEELHAND FORGED PLANE IRON (1870's)2 1/8"x 7"
MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS LIVING IN ENGLAND I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO DISCOVER A BOX OF 19th CENTURY PLANE IRONS AND I RECENTLY FOUND A FEW REMAINING EXAMPLES
PLEASE NOTE THE THICKNESS OF THE CUTTING EDGE OF THIS IRON, WHICH IS TWICE AS THICK AS EVEN THE BEST AMERICAN PLANE IRONS. (3/16+) MADE OF THE FINEST STEEL, FORGED INTO A SOFTER MORE FLEXIBLE BASE THAT IS TAPERED AT THE HEEL.
THIS IRON WILL MATCH THE BEST JAPANESE STEEL FOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE. THE COMBINATION OF THE IRON AND CHIP BREAKER WEIGH 12 OZ AND THIS COMBINATION CREATES A VERY POWERFUL CUTTING FORCE THAT IS DIFFICULT TO DUPLICATE.
WELL WORTH LOOKING AT MY "OTHER ITEMS" AS I HAVE MANY INTERESTING AND VERY HARD TO FIND TOOLS AND I HOPE TO LIST SEVERAL MORE IRONS.
I ONLY SHIP TO THE U.S. BUT IF YOU HAVE EXCELLENT LONG TERM response AND LIVE ABROAD, CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY THE COST OF SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND I CAN OPEN THE offerDING FOR YOU.
IT ISSIMPLEST FOR ME TO OFFER SHIPPING WITH THE USPS , BUT IF YOU WOULD PREFER SOME OTHER METHOD, AND ARE WILLING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST, CONTACT ME.
ALSO, PLEASE LOOK AT MY OTHER ITEMS THAT I WILL BE LISTING:
I AM SELLING MY COMPLETE COLLECTION OF TOOLS AND PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT COLLECTED OVER 60 YEARS IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, MANY BOOKS, AS WELL AS OTHER INTERESTING ITEMS FOR I AM CLEARING OUT EVERYTHING POSSIBLE.THESE ARE FROM A VERY EXTENSIVE, WELL CARED FOR ACCUMULATION, MANY VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION.
