This rare 18th-century tongue plane is a beautifully preserved example of early American craftsmanship, made from yellow birch with classic flat chamfers and a distinctive offset rear tote—hallmarks of pre-industrial plane design.

• Marked “SK” on the toe – early maker’s stamp adds provenance and intrigue
• 14″ long body – substantial and well-balanced for panel work
• 1 1/8″ wide tongue iron – round-top profile, properly fitted and clean
• Offset rear tote – pinned through the body, with graceful shaping
• Tight, stable body – no cracks or repairs, with rich patina throughout

A standout piece for collectors of early American planes and traditional joinery tools, this one blends utility, rarity, and 18th-century charm in equal measure.
