matched pair squirrel tail wood rabbet molding planes brass soles & 1 compassed:
$80.00

You are offerding on one matched pair of squirrel tailed wood rabbet planes as pictured.

Neither one is marked.

----- For the flat-soled plane: length of the sole is about 2-9/16\", and overall length including the tail is about 4-9/16\". Width of the sole is about a 32nd under 15/16\", and width of the iron is about 15/16\".

----- For the compassed plane:length of the sole measured in a straight line is about 2-9/16\", and overall length including the tail is about 4-5/8\". Width of the sole is about 15/16\", and width of the iron is about a 32nd under 15/16\".

It may be that the irons got switched between planes at some point. I\'m not sure about either type of wood, but I would guess that the bodies might be maple, and the wedges are maybe a rosewood or an ebony. The soles are brass, apparently glued on, and the irons are steel.

They appear to have been recently made, probably in the last 40 or 50 years if not less, and are not antiques.

Condition of both is very good to excellent, appearing to have seen very little if any use. There are some scratches mostly in the brass sole of the compassed plane. Portions of the wedge appear polished and very smooth, and portions of the wedges have quite a few scratches. The irons have some patina and some casting roughness on the tails. There are a few tiny gaps between the brass soles and the bodies where the soles were glued on.

SHIPPING: Under 1 pound, shipped in a padded envelope, shipped USPS Ground Advantage, insurance is included. No International shipping.

l 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 postings as I have LOTS more to list!

Searching my listings: I have lots to see! Some of you will undoubtedly enjoy browsing through everything, but if you want to hone in on something specific, I suggest you click on the \"Visit Store\" link in Seller Information section in the upper right of this listing. That will lead you to my extensive system of categories.

How to subscribe to my newsletter?Every Friday sends out my newsletter featuring 10 of my most interesting new listings. To subscribe, click the VISIT STORE to go to my store and then click on the heart symbol that is labeled SAVE SELLER. That will automatically get you on the mailing list for the newsletters. They are free, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

ETHICS IN DESCRIPTIONS: I also buy for my collecting on , and I have been burned too many times by misleading (duh did I forget to mention .......) descriptions, and sales 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 offer, 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 offer 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 return shipping!).

USPS POSTAGE RATE INCREASES: I use the Post Office for everything, and yes, the shipping charges just keep going up and up. The Post Office now has several prices increases during each year, raising a few things but not everything at each increase. And they now raise their rates during the Holidays, which means early October to late January. Their big increases are in January, timed to start at the end of the Holiday rates, and this year is no exception. And it\'s not just the postage rates, the insurance charges and the delivery signature charges have also gone up. There is now a surcharge for Priority Mail packages over 20\" long, and another for Priority Mail packages over 30\" long, because those longer packages won\'t fit in their automatic machines. And the Post Office has discontinued the Regional Flat Rate boxes, which were often less expensive for certain sizes and weights.I try to pick the best shipping option for each listing, based both on what is the least expensive and on what I think is needed to protect the item. If the value is $250 or over, requires your signature at delivery for the buyer and seller protections to be in effect.

SALES TAX: Interstate sales tax is now the reality on all the major selling websites including . If I ship to a state where is required to collect sales tax, will charge you the sales tax for your location.There is lots of information available from that explains it in much more detail. The sales tax is completely out of my hands -- I don\'t have anything to do with deciding whether to charge tax, I don\'t have anything to do with deciding the tax rate, and I never see any of the funds that are collected, they go directly to .

SELLING OUTSIDE OF : Why would I risk my lengthy good standing with to save you a couple of dollars? Especially when you ask on an email that is sent through the email system? Please don\'t ask, the answer is no.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I no longer ship Internationally other than Canada. If you are in Canada, ask for what the shipping would cost, but be prepared for it to be $$$$$.

sales: I won’t end an sale listing early to sell it to you directly. As a buyer, I really dislike going back at the end of an sale to offer, only to discover that the seller had ended the sale early. So I won’t do that for you, or to you.

PACKAGING: Please check my response -- I package well. I figure if you take the time to purchase from me, then I can take the time to package it well, and not just throw it into a cereal box with a scrap of newspaper.

I hope someday I will meet some of you as we trudge the happy road of tool collecting!
