Preston No. 14 1/2 Smoothing Plane

As you can see this has had the sole and the sides 'blackened' quite unusual and highly unlikey it was originally like that but left it all as found.

2.1kg.

With original Preston Iron that will need a sharpen, the sole does have scratches but nothing deep and just going through the blackend sole.

The rear handle does have a crack in it, again though as it is solid and not moving I have left this as is rather than replacing.

The lever cap's shrome is very poor but again the original cap.
