B66-547 STANLEY MODEL SHOP PROTOTYPE. Combination Match and Beading Plane. Unmarked, but only the twisted minds behind the Model Shop could have dreamed this thing up. At first glance it looks like a No. 48, but instead of the swinging fence to allow you to cut both the tongue and the groove, it has a fence at right angles to the sole with a spring-mounted removable bead cutter that is held out of the way to use it as a fence, but then can be pressed down and the plane used on is side to cut a bead. It has an odd thumb rest in place of a knob, and the cutters are not held by cap screws but are contained in a casing. 9" long, nickel plated with an early scroll-type casting on the tote. Unique and pretty cool. From the collection of Paul van Pernis. Fine 5000-10000
