Knowles Type Patented Plane w/ Cut Out Sides Hazard Knowles was granted a patent for an iron bodied plane in 1827. It is considered the first patent for a metal bodied plane granted in America. No known examples are marked. Shortly after other versions of metal bodied planes based on the idea began to appear and are generally referred to as Knowles types. In Vol. II of Smiths works on patented planes he pictures a plane identical to this one with the decorative cut-outs in the cast iron sides. He calls it a Knowles type and provides some info based on how the cutter was marked. Roger Smith covers the whole range of Knowles planes and Knowles type planes and their history, in some detail, in both volumes of his books on patented American planes. It is worth the read.

The overall condition of this 19" long plane is very nice with no damage to the cast iron body. The throat area is nice. There are no markings or patent info. There is little to no rust or pitting. It has not been over cleaned or fiddled with. The infill shows appropriate and normal wear. There is some chipping to the handle. It has its original wedge and a single cutter. The cutter is 2 3/8 and marked Ohio Tool which is probably a later replacement. RARE, Nice, & Different!!!
