b61-650 METAL PLOW PLANE. Howkins Model C IOB. Uncommon patented British combination plow, all cast iron except for rosewood fence and bed, 7" long. The Model C was the third and most complex of the three models produced. In mint condition with all its parts, including a full set of cutters in the original roll, in a dovetailed box that has no label but is how they were sold. Also included is an original instruction sheet, very tattered and fragile. It isn't missing the tote - that's how they were designed. These things were made, in small numbers, at the beginning of the twentieth century. It's been said that they are the most precise plow plane ever engineered, but you couldn't prove it by us. From the collection of Cliff Sapienza. Fine 200-400
