B66-190 BLOCK PLANE. Amos Kindred. By all accounts this looks like the block planes manufactured by Metallic Plane Co., including an Excelsior iron, but Kindred was selling nearly identical planes shortly after Metallic Plane Co. ceased operations. According to PTAMPIA I, page 155, Kindred likely purchased existing inventory from Metallic at their closing, and examples of Kindred's planes had the front rib ground down. 5-1/2" sole, 1-1/2" marked cutter, wood wedge a little narrow. Good 100-200
