B66-540 JACK PLANE. Blandin Patent No. 13. Benjamin Blandin of Charleston, MA, received his patent in 1867 for a vertical knob cutter adjustment that was pretty much a direct ripoff of Leonard Bailey. It was a dud - Patrick Leach, never one to mince words, describes the design as "practically useless" - and examples are correspondingly rare. PTAMPIA II, pp. 124-25. 14" sole with 2-1/4" Moulson Bros. cutter, chipped along the edge. The vertical knob is marked "Blandin's Pat. May 7 1867" but you have to remove the cutter to see it. Japanning 98%, hardwood knob and tote immaculate, some light corrosion on the cheeks. Good+ 2000-4000
