    Seems to be an early 1942 era model...Depth adjuster is still brass, bolts for the handles are one piece Blued steel.....handles are stained hardwood..

    Having to work past a BIG chip in the center of the iron's edge....

    Film at 2300hrs..

    Some from that era had steel depth adjuster wheel, some were even 2 piece things...this one was a tad older...

    As it has a Brass depth adjuster wheel. The bolts were blued steel one piece things...the 'blue" on mine was just about all rusted off..went ahead and polished them up..

    They called a #4 sized plane a Number 9...


    Looks a little better, now.....so, I now had a Type 2, a type 3 (this one) and a Type 4....I do not have the Type 1, and do NOT want the Type 5...

    That came out very nice, which is not a surprise.

    I should look for a #2 or #1. I have a #3 waiting for me to clean up, I just need the time to do it. I hope it cleans up well and works.

    Nice work!

    I too have a #9 that I inherited. It's my favorite hand plane.
