GGGG I contacted the man who is working on the Duxbury Shop about contacting Peter Follansbee and he said they have exchanged emails but not met in person - I suggested he do that. He just sent me an article tells the story of a plane collector who had some planes by an obscure maker, and it turns out that the Duxbury shop was probably his joiner’s shop - L. Samson. The now-dismantled house out front of the shop had extraordinary trim work and it was posited that perhaps it was used as a showroom for his work. The author even found the maker’s stamp still owned by a descendant. A question - the author talks about some od the planes having a “currency mark” and those were for sale, whereas those without the mark might have been used in the shop. What the heck is a currency mark? Just a penciled-on price? They didn't have Magic Markers, did they? I tried making the article go through and the site rejected it - it came to me as an Apple Preview file and opened OK, but OdlTools sure doesn't like it. Anybody wants it, send me your email and I will forward it. Ed Minch |

Anybody wants it, send me your email and I will forward it. If I had a bunch of 'for sale' planes mixed in with my users, I might mark them with a $ without an actual price, helping me identify them quickly and giving me wiggle-room in case somebody wanted to buy one. But that's just me. Please send me a copy. I would have thought you could save an Apple Preview file in jpeg format, for example, but I can't say I've tried that.
