Very Rare Spiers of Ayr Brass Smoothing Plane
VERY RARE late 1920's vintage SPIERS of AYR dovetailed brass and steel soled coffin-shaped smoothing plane. The first thing to say before going any further is, that in my opinion the woodwork of this plane has been professionally restored. The plane has its origin gunmetal lever cap with scroll script stamp. Very nice dark rosewood infill with open rear handle with long comfy spur. 3/4 length thick parallel iron by Aaron Hildick of Sheffield produces a tight mouth.
As previously stated in my opinion the front bun infill and the rear open handle are both later repairs but have been done so well it is hard to tell for sure. Never-the-less this is a very rare type of Spiers plane that is hardly ever seen, in fact this is only the 3rd brass one I have seen. RARE.
SIZE 8 1/2" long by 2 1/2" wide
