Robert Lock was recently given an old (beech) coffin plane fitted with an original aluminium sole - very badly corroded over the years.
Although the blade cap has not makers stamp the cutting blade has the makers stamp - W. LEGGOE around the circumference and with “OVRUS” & WARRANTED CAST STEEL underneath.Bob has done some repair work to the coffin plane ( the body still needs waxing & polishing) and fitted a nice brass sole to replace the corroded aluminium one.
Bob would very much like to track down the plane and/or blade maker to see if the make is English, American or indeed European. So far he has not seen anything on the web to point him in the right direction. Can you help?
