Here we have an Antique METALLIC PLANE CO. Auburn, NY, EXCELSIOR Cutter, Iron Block Plane, 5.5"L. Elliott Storke established the Metallic Plane Co. inAuburn, NY in 1867 and they manufactured metal planes with Storke's and NelsonPalmer's early patents. In addition they made an Iron blockplane. TheCompany only operated until 1880. Youcan see a picture of this plane in PTAMPA Vol. I, Page 173. The plane is in good 'used tool' condition. Most of theoriginal japanning... has worn away over the years. I see a tiny tight surface crack in each corner of the mouth.
