About 20 years ago one of my retired neighbors asked me to look at his dad's wood working tools. Most of them were well kept, but well used lower end items, wooden planes (as opposed to steel) except for one plane. I recognized it from an auction I attended several years earlier. It is a combination plane called a "Fale's Patent". I consigned it (for him) on a national tool auction and it sold for $950.
