This little fella was found at a local antique show hiding amongst a bunch of
china, and at quite a reasonable price. A nice find as the winter has really
curtailed the GSales.

Cobbled up the protective case this aft.  Walnut and white oak.

As it’s not marked with a makers name anywhere, this eve I perused the google
images looking for a similar pattern with no joy. Anybody see the pattern as
familiar to them?

        It looks vaguely familiar to ones I have seen in books and magazines,
but I have no first hand experience with a gem like that.

I’ve seen these little British planes in both iron and bronze. I think they were
modeled after Preston bull nose planes or something similar. If I can find an
image in a catalog, I’ll post it.

Gosh!  Correct me if wrong, but I've long believed the infilled / 
dovetailed or cast rebates and bullnose rebates were an earlier form. I 
thought Preston was modelling theirs after those original Scottish 
infills, findng a way to make them less expensive by eliminating the 
infills.
