B64-353. SMOOTHING PLANE. Pike & Dean No. 102. Patented in 1875 by Asahel Dean of Philadelphia and sold by Pike & Dean. PTAMPIA II, pages 152-53. The lever cap has ring hook on the left cheek, which was supposed to make it easier to replace the cutter. 7" sole, 1-3/4" cutter. Patent date marked on left cheek. There's a significant chip from the tote and some patches of light pitting but otherwise a clean and complete example of a very rare plane. The shorter length Pike & Deans are particularly hard to find. Condition: Good+, Estimate: 3000-5000
