Stamped 'H. SLATER MAKER 97 MEREDITH ST. CLERKENWELL LONDON' and 'M' on the heel. Also has a really cool 'E. L. BOOKHAM TOOL MERCHANT DOVER' stamp on the toe. Crisp edges and a very fine mouth. Beautiful rosewood with most of its original finish. Also stamped 'F. RATCLIFF' in two places. Very clean W. Marples & Sons iron. The only "flaw" is the slightly peened over back screw. 7 3/4" total length on the body. Hard to find in this width.
**All edge tools may need to be sharpened/honed before use**
