C. E. JENNINGS & CO.
STEER’S PATENT ADJUSTABLE IRON PLANES
With Composite Bottom.
Our New Patented Iron Plane is offered to the trade and to the public as the only plane ever yet made that has successfully met the great objection to Iron Planes, viz. : the clinging of the Plane when in use to the work.
The bottom of the Plane is inlaid with Rosewood strips firmly and immovably dovetailed into the iron, and so combined as to prevent the wood from wearing away, giving the ease in working of a wood plane. while retaining all the advantages of the Iron Plane.
