    H. WELLS, Double Iron, Adjustable Sash Molding Plane
    To get the most complete information on what is being auctioned, please read full description, and see all photos.  If more specific information or additional photos are needed, please contact me.
    Wood tools a century or more old, may have dents, dings, scratches, age/shrinkage checks, and warpage.  Anything significant will be noted and photographed.
    The plane has been lightly cleaned, by hand, using a Scotch-Brite pad and B.L.O.
    The toe is faintly marked, but I believe it is "H. WELLS",  plus the owner stamp.
    The heel is unmarked .
    The irons are marked "DWIGHTS FRENCH & Co. WARRANTED CAST STEEL".
    I was a collector, not a user.  The plane looks pretty nice, but
    doesn't seem very "adjustable" to me.  The screws holding the two halves together may not be original, so maybe that is why???
    Very nice condition, IMHO.
    The irons will need to be sharpened, and soles may need truing if this plane is to be used.
    The wedges and irons may be removed for shipping.
