Great‑Looking 5″ Coffin‑Shaped Rosewood Plane
A Beauty • Marked Brooklyn, New York
A great‑looking 5″ long coffin‑shaped rosewood plane, beautifully proportioned and full of character. The rosewood has rich color and tight grain, giving the plane a warm, elegant presence in the hand. Its compact size and classic coffin profile make it both visually appealing and highly collectible.
This example is marked Brooklyn, New York, placing it within the tradition of small‑shop 19th‑century makers who produced finely crafted rosewood and ebony smoothers for cabinetmakers and patternmakers. Planes from Brooklyn‑marked makers are not commonly encountered, and this one stands out for its clean lines and handsome overall appearance.
A charming, well‑made little smoother—perfect for the collector who appreciates early American rosewood planes with regional markings.
