It’s a jointer plane, not a fore.

Great Douglas. The stamp on yours is different from the internet pone.

Thanks you, sir! That’s an old trooper for sure.

I think I can still see a bit of blood on the iron. :-)

Douglas, I have one as well. My dad said it was over a hundred years old when he gave it to me 30 odd years ago.

I’m pretty sure it was my paternal grandfather’s, and since Dad was born in 1917 it was very likely pre-1900’s. I will probably not go to a great deal of trouble with it with the cracked sole, and the throat just packed up with shavings when I tried it. I have a bunch of rehabs from 3 through 4 1/2, my Grandad’s 5, plus an out of the box Veritas low-angle jack (love it) and the smoother Thos. Angle made me. Probably ought to stop about any old time now…

Wow! This is like finding treasure for sure!
