Nice & Very Rare Kimberly Patent 3-Arm Plow Plane – Patent #2848.

A remarkable and seldom-seen example of inventive 19th-century American toolmaking: the Kimberly Patent 3-Arm Plow Plane, marked with Patent #2848. This unusual configuration features three arms for enhanced stability and fence control—an ingenious solution that sets it apart from more conventional plow planes of the era.
Crafted with bold lines and mechanical elegance, the Kimberly Patent plane reflects a brief but fascinating moment in plow plane evolution. Its distinctive triple-arm design offers superior rigidity and alignment, making it both a functional tool and a collector’s conversation piece.
Condition: Nice overall. There is a small chip from the fence that has been reglued—stable and professionally done, with no impact on usability. Crisp details, clean surfaces, and a rare patent make this a standout addition to any serious collection.
