FA: Vintage Shute Board & Type-High Plane, Compl, c.1890s
Vintage Shute Board & Type-High Plane, Compl, c.1890s
This Vintage 1890s Hoerner Combination Shute-Board and Type-High Machine Plane is all complete with original instructions sheet and is in excellent condition. This machine is designed for interchangeable planes, on carrying a knife blade and the other a file. They operate on the carriage or guide frame. The carriage can be moved from side to side of the bed while operating, thus permitting a block the full width of the machine to be shaved at one locking. It will hold a block up to ten inches in width and any length. The block is held down to the bed by a vise-like lock, fastened or released with the turn of a small lever. The sliding cross bar with mitre point can also be used to set any angle of mitering. The bed can also be firmly fastened to a table or bench leaving both hands for free operation. This Shute-Board is made of all steel and iron with the exception of the wood plane handles. The plane consists of an iron bed, iron carriage, miter guide, and iron knife blade. The iron bed measures 12 ½ inches x 14 inches. It has decorative edges with gold paint edging. The front edge has a brass label that says, (Manfd by The Challenge Machinery Co., Grand Haven, Mich., and Chicago, Ill., U.S.A.). The bottom side of the bed is marked, (Hoerner Type High Machine, Patd. Jan 94, Dec 95---1894/95). It also says (Manfd By The Challenge Mchy Co., Chicago, Ill.). The iron carriage has a gold decorative floral design on each side. The sliding miter guide is marked (Patented, Jan 94, Dec 95). The iron knife blade is an iron square shaped structure that fits in the carriage. It has a wood handle and wood round knob. There is a small chip out of the wood handle and a small chip out of the iron square structure where it looks like it had been dropped at one time, but it does not detract from the appearance or function of the machine (see pictures). With these exceptions, this is in excellent fully working condition. There is no other damage and no rust at all. I have taken several pictures to show the details. Also, included is the original directions sheet and instruction sheet. To see pictures, please view at: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI...tem=3264983503 |
