STUNNING VERY EARLY 1869 - 1872 STANLEY NO. 3 TYPE 2 PLANE

100% original and likely one of the finest Type 2 No. 3 planes in existence. This plane is 100% as found and has not been 'cleaned'. Japanning is about 70% and the plane has a lovely natural patina on all surfaces. The rosewood handle is in superb condition and has stunning grain pattern as can be seen in the photos. Original iron and cap both read 'L. BAILEYS PATENT DEC 24, 1867'. Absolutely top shelf.
