It was made by the partnership of Hills and Winship in Springfield, MA in the mid-19th century. The plane is especially clean with very little wear. The blade is long and clean. It's still decently sharp and will make a fine worker. A nice example of this rare profile. $35

A good worker in a very desirable size. $25
