Hello everyone,
Apologies for cross-posting.
I'm looking for some help to identify this woodworking plane (see attached). It's original catalogue record from the sixties calls it a moulding plane, however, this doesn't seem quite right as it doesn't have a shaped blade/iron. We're doing a collections review in this area, so it would be great to know what this is, and of the existence of any others (or not, as the case may be!).
It's stamped "W. HASELDEN" and "TURNER" on one end. The stock is comprised of several pieces, possibly a repair or modification? The sole is flat but not smooth, the cutting iron slightly skewed and protrudes slightly more on the forward edge (not sure if this is intentional). It's 24 cm at its highest point, 13cm wide and 4.5 cm thick.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome!
