Colquhoun and Cadman 2 1/4" wide chisel [Vintage]
Oooh! – this is magnificent.
2 ¼” edge, an impressive 20” overall with a long handle (7 ½”) & 1 5/8” brass ferrule.
We think the handle and ferrule may not be original, but this doesn’t distract from the overall appeal of this monster.
It has been sharpened and for a chisel that is possibly 125 years old it is in superb condition. No pitting...
Record 05 SS Jack Plane [Vintage]

Dating from 1950 – 1965
2” wide blade.
1 ½” original iron remains.
This may have been refurbished...
Marples M6 Jack Plane [Vinatge]

18” overall
Dating this plane is fun, which we will leave to you (suffice to say we think post 1940). Do your detective work here at this superb William...
