Rare vintage Falcon Pope 9 IN woodwork plane

Rare vintage Falcon Pope 9 IN woodwork plane. I would date this old Australian smoothing plane to the early 1950s. Due to the Australian housing boom after WW2, Australia started making their own planes due to demand. The plane is larger and heavier than its Stanley equivalent (No.4), and has a good quality casting. Eventually Stanley bought out Falcon Pope in the late 1950s - thus the available planes are quite rare. The plane measures 23.5cm long, and is in fair condition, but does not have a blade and has been painted with anti rust paint on the top. It would however be easy to restore it to its original condition.. Great buy for the carpenter.
