The plane is very heavy and works as it’s set up. The nice bronze coloured lever cap is very nicely made with the turned screw although the lever cap has been fixed in other positions during its life.the sole is a thick 5/16” thick and tenoned at the mouth.

A lovely looking very heavy infill bench plane. The casting has a lovely colouring, the infills are rosewood, the iron is by “ONIONS” the iron is sharp and once set forms a very tight mouth.the casting at front and rear of the plane forms a curved point and is set into the infills, I’m unsure who would have made this plane but would think by a tool maker looking at the quality.
eBay
It's a collectable piece that not only serves as a functional tool.
