A wooden nosing plane. There is evidence of older dents, abrasions, and scratches that are disguised from an apparent refinishing campaign. The proper left side of the stock has notable dark stains, and newer scratches. The front proper right of the stock is lightly worn from handling, exposing the lighter color of the wood substrate. In relief on toe, oriented vertically, is [CE*CHELOR / LIVING IN / WRENTHAM]. In relief on toe at bottom is [A·M].
