Amazing “Come & Go” Tongue & Groove Molding Plane by John Bell — Philadelphia

Marked 1/2″ on the Heel • Rare Early Form • Crisp, Honest Example

An amazing “Come & Go” tongue & groove molding plane by John Bell of Philadelphia, one of the most prolific and respected early American planemakers. Bell’s specialty planes are always desirable, but the Come & Go form—designed to cut both the tongue and the groove with a single reversible plane—is a genuine standout for collectors.

This example is clean, crisp, and beautifully preserved, with strong early surfaces and excellent proportions. The plane is clearly marked 1/2″ on the heel, confirming its size and making it even more appealing for collectors who appreciate properly marked specialty planes. The iron seats well, the boxing is tight, and the overall presentation is exactly what you hope to see from a Bell specialty tool.
