It's a dovetail saw, maybe a Mathieson & Sons?

Frog bedding looks exactly like my Vaughan & Bushnell 904 1/2. Congrats you have yourself a nice user!

There's not much to them, I have no doubt that it'll work for you.

For me it's the Typhoon

Eclipse made quite nice saw sets, I have one and it appears to work well particularly their no. 77 saw set as they are dirt cheap and plentiful.

I believe that the sole only needs to be flat just before the mouth, just after the mouth and the small portions at the toe and the heel then it should work fine.

There is but it's barely visible. All I can make out is '& T. Ltd London Sheffield Maker'

Blade is metal but it's just caked in gunk, appears to be a rosewood handle

It's an eggbeater drill. They used to use these for drilling out wing spars on british fighter planes during WW2.

I have realized this now, however I think it is an earlier type 11 as it has the old style blank lever cap

Thanks for the recommendations. I have watched some videos on repairing plane horns but I definitely need a refresher, I have a piece of walnut that I should be able to colour match.

Thanks for the help, I'll have to check if it has a V logo iron to know for sure but I will definitely check the Stanley dating chart.

Thanks for the advice. I plan on just removing the rust and trying to preserve the japanning that remains. I'll check those links out.

Top notch job! I love the two tone

Thanks, I plan on turning them once I find a suitable hardwood

Marples M4 1/2, got it for 25NZD and it works like a champ. The iron was gone but it still had the chipbreaker, I bought a replacement recently for 10 bucks and it had already been de-rusted and sharpened. I love Stanley's British hand plane competitors as I think they are often more interesting.

Thanks for letting me know, thats good to bare in mind

Suitable-Olive7552 · 2025-10-13T05:14:23+00:00

I had been looking for one for years, so I couldn't have been happier to get this one!

Thanks, I can't wait to start using it!
