John Caraffi has provided some photos of a moulding plane acquired recently that has been puzzling him.
It has a small H zb stamp slightly askew in the usual, maker's position, but a far more impressive one below. This is an inverted heart with a star and RC within.
It's an un numbered round about a no 10 say, and is 9 3/4 inches long .It has a nice Robert Moore iron,
very round chamfers, a fair drop on the shoulders with no gouge cut in Phillipson style.
There is a fairly fat rounded wedge.
John wonders if anyone has seen the heart stamp before or the H. He is sure it is all original and hasn't been shortened.
