Maves hand plane

It turns out that this is actually a Mayes plane, not Maves. It is 14 inches long and he had the original box it came in. The label on the side is torn, but I can make out that it was made in Johnson City, Tenn. Outside of that I cannot find much else about it. Internet searches are coming up empty. I would like to learn the age of this plane, but I plan on cleaning this one up and using it.

It may be useable but you will prob have to temper your expectations of it. Plastic handles, stickers, cast aluminum and stamped parts are usually a sign of lower tiered planes. That being said.

It’s possibly to make it a user but only so much can be achieved.

I took it apart this afternoon cleaned it up a bit flattened the sole and sharpened the iron… it’s now taking whisper thin shavings and I couldn’t be more pleased!
