B-742. ADJUSTABLE BLOCK PLANE. Boston Metallic Successor? 7" sole, 1-1/2" cutter, bent down on the end to engage the brass adjustment screw. The adjustment mechanism closely resembles that used in the Hardy patent planes manufactured by Boston Metallic, based on Baldwin?s 1873 patent, though we?ve never seen it in a block plane. The lever cap is Boston Metallic with the ?flower? engraving found on Hardy planes, but with the palm rest broken off and the edges smoothed. After Boston Metallic closed up, its stock was bought up by other companies, including A.W. Kindred and American Manufacturing, but they marked their planes and we?ve never seen one with quite this combination of features. Bed repainted. From the collection of Cecil Holmes.
