Patrick, to answer your question, I got that plane back around the time I sold the business to TLN. Some of the payment were for various tools, that was one. The box indicated that it came in either iron or bronze, perhaps he stopped making the iron model. Was never a fan of any of the bronze stuff as a wear surface on wood.
Since Stewart asked, I will endeavor to take some pictures tomorrow and show the 212 in action.
