A very good dovetailed smoothing plane by MATHIESON of Glasgow.

Wonderful rosewood infill retains almost all of its original lacquer finish with some crazing - please see images
There is an old hairline crack to the lower part of the rear handle but this does not appear to be all the way through as the lacquer on the inside of the handle has not split and the handle is firm and secure - please see close-up images

Faint previous owner's stamps 'A.GAILEY'.
71/2 inch sole length.
