Plane, moulding plane
This rabbet moulding plane with curved shaving aperture forms part of a group of tools found in a fine early 19th century tool chest. The plane is marked with no maker's name but does carry that of its owner 'W Gray'. A metal name plate found in one of the drawers of the toolchest carries the name 'William Gray' and the address 'Cavendish Grove, Wandsworth Road' which was close to Vauxhall Bridge. Gray was living in this area in the mid 19th century.
