Authentic antique Worth transitional woodworking plane.

Transitional planes were produced during the period when craftsmen were moving from traditional wooden planes to the newer cast iron designs that would later dominate woodworking shops. Combining the stability of cast iron with the familiarity of a wooden body, these tools represent an important chapter in American toolmaking history.

This example retains its original wooden body, tote handle, front knob, and cutter assembly. A desirable piece for collectors of early woodworking tools, antique tool displays, restoration projects, or period workshops.
