    There are a dozen ways to do just about anything in woodworking. With wooden planes it is easy to make a sharp point in the boxing to work with a pointed blade. A combination plane has a minimum area the blade must be beyond the skate. If one were a machinist, perhaps the skates could be cut down to allow for less of a quirk.

    The best researched source of information on this sort of question is still British Planemakers from 1700, third edition.

    Over six pages, it describes Moseley as the pre-eminent London planemaker of the 19th century. It also attempts to sort out the marks most likely to have been used in different periods of the firm's history.

    For the name MOSELEY on its own, it suggests the period 1809-1818, before it became Moseley & Son.
