MORRIS patent jack plane
Patented in 1870 by Ellis Morris of Salem, Ohio, and sold briefly by Sandusky as the "Diamond Metallic" plane, with its characteristic waffle pattern sole designed to reduce friction. This is the 16” jack plane length, iron sole is in good condition except for a small chip at the heel, 2-1/4" A. Mathieson cutter is likely a replacement. Japanning has been repainted on the body and its original beech knob and tote are replaced, wedge has some damage.
