I picked this up at a second hand store a few years ago and put it in my old tools box. Today I finally began to check it out and was surprised at its age.
The plane is made of quarter sawn oak and stamped with the maker's name and address.
S.Tyzack 8 Old St Road London and also the owners stamp PASCOE.
Well the Tyzack company only made planes at that address from 1861 to 1867. So this tool is civil war era.
I'm not sure the iron is original because it looks a little rough for something sold by a tool mfg. And it is a bevel down grind, with a 55 degree bed angle.
