    Default Charles Nurse Infill Plane

    Saw a photograph of an infill plane with its blade stamped with "C. Nurse xxx" which is for sale.

    Tried to Google " Charles Nurse Infill Plane" without much success. Did Charles Nurse produce infill planes in the first instance?

    Looks like he did. Here’s a catalogue of castings he sold for planes.

    Charles Nurse was predominantly a retailer/reseller who, basically, sold iron planes that were actually made by other makers (most notably Slater), as well as castings and other parts. Likely these plane castings were also made by other manufacturers, such as Preston and Marples.
