Vintage Record No. 06 Fore Plane (WWII Period)

This is a beautiful Vintage Record No. 06 Fore Plane in good condition. The knob and tote were typically made of dark stained beech at this time. The body is clean and the sole is flat and square with just a few small imperfections on the sole. The iron is Best Crucible Cast Tungsten Steel and is sharp, set ready to go. This Record No. 06 Fore Plane dates back to the WWII period between 1939-1945. As seen on the lateral lever stamped (War Finish) this term is on Record hand planes, specifically the No. 6 plane and refers to a change in the lever cap's finish during World War II due to nickel restrictions. During this period, the standard nickel plating was replaced with a lacquered finish due to nickel being diverted for other war efforts..  *Follow me to get notified of Vintage woodworking tools I'll have up* Check out my other tools I have.
