GREENFIELD TOOL CO.
No. 674 Skew Blade PANEL RAISING PLANE
.
Greenfield Tool Co. was a plane manufacturer in Greenfield, Mass. from 1851-1883. Their maker mark is on the toe of the plane along with  No. 674. The heel is stamped '3'.  This BIG plane is in very good used condition.  Over the years a previous owner has replaced the tote and the small nicker iron and its wedge. The nicker iron looks like a reworked file and is has a sharp tip.  The plane body has a very nice finish and only a couple of the typical age-related hairline cracks in the toe and heel.  The plane has an adjustable wooden depth stop along the right side.  The large adjustable moving fence works as it should. The stop and the fence have brass guides and the heavy screws with recessed washers hold everything nice and tight.  The wedge for the main cutting iron is original.  The cutting iron is sharp but should be checked if you plan to use this plane. The cutting iron was made by DWIGHTS FRENCH & Co. who were edge tool makers in CT from approx. 1844 to 1900+.
This is a 'BIG & HEAVY' plane measuring approx. 14"L x 4-1/4"W and weighs 6 lb. 5
oz.(unpacked!).
