Overview

Plane, wooden body with shaped metal blade(rusted).
There is a drawing of a lamb in a sling on one end with I & H Sorb & 3/4 on other end.

Historical information

The brand indicates the plane was manufactured in Sheffield, England by one of several companies that used the trademark I & H Sorby over the years. This trademark was introduced before 1849 and was used (with the drawing of a lamb in a sling) in 1938 on the title page of a Turner and Naylor & Co, Ltd. catalogue.
