Vintage tools – plane T8150
Up for sale is a RARE Edward Preston 14 & 1/2 Heavy SMOOTHING PLANE. The original rosewood handles are unique to this plane.
Interestingly, the original cutter is stamped PRESTON EP Best Crucible Cast TUNGSTEN Steel. Record are the only other plane manufacturer that stamped their irons so & they started using Prestons bullnose plane patterns after Preston went bust in the 1930s, so perhaps they got their ideas for Tungsten alloy blades from Preston? Its a lovely rare plane.
