For sale is a vintage beading/moulding plane body.
It's in lovely condition for its age and has several interesting markings stamped into it including:
F.STANSFIELD
G.STANSFIELD
I assume these are the men who owned this plane, possibly a father and son?
There is also the name of another owner:
W.DAVIES
The plane body is also marked:
7 (assume this is the bead number)

I'm sure the buyer can get a lot of enjoyment from researching these markings.
Please note, this is the plane body only, there is no wedge/moulding iron.
