Thanks Ian. Not so sure that one's Rosewood but this one looks closer to the mark...

I had another, longer look at your pic. of the #3. The colour & grain is more consistent with Rosewood than Beech for the tote, but the front knob looks more like stained Beech. I also looked a bit more carefully at the adjuster yoke, & it's pressed-steel, which suggests the tote is a graft, not the original. It would've been a cast yolk in the Rosewood era.

The sample dovetail is the rare item for the 444.
I've had 3 of them and only one had the dovetail.
Missed another up the coast from an old workmate, it sold in seperate lots at his estate auction I was told.
Bit like the 51 and 52s, odd looking plane and a funny cast iron thing screwed to a bench.

Sorry Matt & Elan, I didn't make myself clear. I was talking about the first pic, the #3, not the #4. Agree, the yoke on the #4 is cast, and the woodwork looks like rosewood on both tote & knob on that one (as far as it's possible to tell from a pic). Originally Posted by Simplicity
