Description

A rare Zenith‑brand Marshall‑Wells/Shaw’s Patent plane in the No. 4½ size, an uncommon and highly collectible private‑label smoother with exceptional presence. Both the side of the body and the iron are marked with the Zenith brand, a pairing that is far less common than single‑marked examples and a major plus for collectors who value fully matched hardware‑store contract planes.

The front knob does have a low chip

The Shaw’s Patent features give it that distinctive mechanical character, and the 4½ size adds weight, width, and scarcity. A bold, correct, and genuinely uncommon Zenith—an excellent addition to any advanced bench plane lineup.
