Old block plane and unidentified hand tool
Hi everyone,
My dad gave me an old block plane. It's seen better days and there's some mammoth cracks in the wood. The blade has "cast steel" stamped on it,....I don't know if that's an indication of its age or not. Can anyone give me some advice on what I should be doing with it? Should I just accept what it is and put it back together on the shelf as a bit of ancient history or should I try to repair it? Also, in the photo there's a hand tool that I picked up at the markets. Does anyone know what it is? I was thinking it may be related to marquetry or maybe it's a leather tool. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
