Anyone recognize this plane, that followed me home from a local estate auction :) ?
Main casting is 9" long and accepts a 2" wide blade.
Blade and chip breaker fit under a cross bar (with a screw to lock against the blade), and on top of a saddle that has a brass adjuster screw to raise the saddle against the blade.
Frog has two screws to hold it to the base, and an adjuster screw that bears horizontally against the casting post that supports the blade saddle.
The blade is a Moulson Brothers, and the chip breaker has "W. BA***E" on it (I think), but there doesn't seem to be any identification on the main body.
The woodwork might be replacements, but the rest looks original.
