| Page under construction It is branded Mathieson over an asterick, over Glasgow .No ''and sons" only ''mathieson, asterick, Glasgow." The front larger plane is not branded, front bun The knocked off, wee V cut into top centre of both side walls, about 1/2" by 1" with the 1" leg parallel to the cutter (does that make sense?) I suspect that it was botched to take a thin Stanley cutter. I believe the Mathieson sons came Into business about 1840, which may explain the stamp only "Mathieson asterisk Glasgow " on the rear plane . adjustable throat, another The rear plane has an strange feature . It also has an owners name cut scrolled into the levercap, a very ornate ''J Banks'' with vines and leaves around it, Upside down below the brand, which is right way up if you look at the plane from the front. I feel that both planes have similar tote structure or shape, both are screwed, both are mahogany, both look Scottish with a protruding sole at the front, both are cast iron. Can anyone from the club help me with either plane please? Sincerely, Arthur peters. |
