RARE VERY EARLY "SPIER" HANDLED DOVETAILED INFILL BENCH PLANE

Infill looks like mahogany.  13 1/2" long. Wood wedge differing from other Spiers planes that have the brass screw cap. I have not seen another one like this. I believe this to be amongst his very earliest production based on the simple lines of the sides, the screws holding the infill, and the wooden wedge with unusual bridge. J BUCK tapered iron.  Excellent condition with large font SPIER AYR (no S!) clearly stamped on the bridge. If anyone has any further information on this plane it would be appreciated.

**All edge tools may need to be sharpened/honed before use**
