Rare Metropolitan Hardware Company No. 2 Smoothing Plane

Extra‑Clean Example • 98% Original Finishes • Mahogany Handles**

A scarce and highly desirable Metropolitan Hardware Company No. 2 Smoothing Plane, attributed to the New York City firm that reportedly brought this pattern to market. Few examples are known, and even fewer survive in this level of preservation.

This plane retains an impressive 98% of its original finishes, with crisp lines, clean metal, and beautifully colored mahogany handles. The rear tote has a nearly invisible glue repair approximately 7/8″ from the base, professionally done and difficult to detect without close inspection.

The iron is marked with the distinctive and charming guarantee: “N.Y. Guarantee Warranted to Please or Your Money Back.” A wonderful period touch and a hallmark of these seldom‑seen planes.
