C Nurse & Co Plane
Hello all,
After a wander around the local swapmeet this morning I bought a little wooden plane for $15. Not sure if it was a good buy or not.
I'll post a pic in the morning but in the meantime,
It's a flattend oval shape, and it bears the name "C. Nurse & Co" "Invicta" with a prancing horse logo. It also says "London SE". About 10inches long with, and this is the stange part, a steel sole.
It was in pretty good shape, taking wispy shavings after a mere 1 hour of scary sharpening the blade and sole. In internet search suggests it's at least 100 years old.
Also picked up a 1//4 inch "Titan" "Hobat Steel" chisel. Not so sure about that though.
Any thoughts?
This could get addictive. If SWMBO was not there I reckon I would've come home with at least 6 or 7 planes
Cheers

Heres the pic.
The photographic medium is pretty unforgiving, it looks a lot rought here that it seems in your hands.
Any thoughts on how to clean up the body?
Cheers

cleaning
Yes it is 100 years old, more like 1860-80
Do not clean. It will take away from the value of it being an antiqure.
You did ok on price. They bring $35 US in that condition.
Good ones bring more depending on maker.
Hope this helps.
