ITEM DESCRIPTION

Vintage tools -  plane N1168

Up for sale is a rare vintage ROBERT McCONNELL Australian made SCRUB PLANE.

Only produced for approximately 10 years (around 1941-1951), they are a cool piece of the Australian post WW2 manufacturing boom times, made in the Fortitude Valley, Queensland.

Arguably one of the more minimal & brutalist hand plane designs ever produced, they have charm by the bucket load & are a very rare thing. In collector grade condition, stamped with its patent number & date & silky oak handles.

So ugly that it’s beautiful.

Size - 44mm cutter

Weight -  1.2kg
