Cesar Chelor, American, 1720 - 1784 · 1753-1784
A wedge-arm sash fillister plane. Body, arms, and blade wedge are wood. Wooden sole is attached to body using sliding dovetails. On short end of the body, vertically in relief, is [CE CHELOR / LIVING IN / WRENTHAM]. There are cracks on the stock. There is evidence of older dents, abrasions, and larger chip losses, but the entire plane has a dark stain obscuring the damage from past use.
