A little used LIE NIELSEN No 71 large open throat router plane.

LIE NIELSEN say:

'Loosely based on the Stanley No.71, our large router planes feature an improved brass depth stop and stainless steel blade adjuster for precise control of cutting depth.  The included fence can be mounted on either side of the blade and flipped around for straight or curved cuts.

The open throat design offers more visibility in front of the tool, which is especially useful for inlay work.

Our router planes have square blades, held solidly in square broached holes.  This prevents the blade from slipping or twisting when removing large shavings or during diagonal use.  The blade can also be mounted to face the back of the plane to work close into corners.'

8¹/₄ inches long by 3¹/₂" wide by 3³/₄" tall overall.

Full A2 blade with " square tip.

Iron body retains its original finish throughout.

Very good cherry wood knobs.

Some minor knocks and scratches with a few spots to the sole, please see images.

All parts move freely and tighten securely.

A nice example.
