B65-497 SMOOTHING PLANE. Metallic Plane Co. "Perfected". Nice clean example of the "Perfected" line in the 8" smoother size, based on Palmer & Storke's 1871 patent. The cutter is not adjustable, and this model is actually much harder to find than the later models with elaborate adjustment mechanisms. Adjustable throat, corrugated sole, beech tote and knob, some scratches but no damage, marked with patent information on the left cheek. L. & I.J. White cutter. See PTAMPIA I, pp. 170-73. Good+ 200-400
