A very tidy and little used nickel plated No.10 block plane by HOBBIES Ltd of Dereham, Norfolk..

Possibly the best example we have seen with almost all of its nickel plating intact, please see images.

Fitted with a good length 1³/₄ inch HOBBIES cutter, ¹⁵/₁₆" remain below the slot.

Very good hardwood knob.

Although most images of the No.10 planes found online show them either fully painted or black enameled to the inside of the body and centre section of the cap, this example has no sign of anything other than being fully nickel plated.

7¹/₈ inches overall length.

A fine example.
