    Smile Old Rebate Plane

    On a business trip last week to Adelaide I picked up this rebate plane for $90.00 at an antique shop at Killarney out side Warrnambool. The dealer told me it came from the estate of an old coachbuilder who worked for the tramways. There were also a lot of moulding planes. Does any one have any ideas about the age? As far as I can tell including the antique shop I am the third owner.

    Phil, it looks like a copy of a Mathieson plane probably turn of the century (I guess). Look for some more info here:

    Google for "Mathieson & Sons Glasgow"

    Cheers
