A twin iron ovolo and scotia plane made by Stewart. Rear of plane is marked ‘3/8 by 4/8’. Has two good length cutter one of which has been replaced. Blades have fairly clean blade face with some minor speckles of pitting to one blade. Previous woodworkers has replaced both wedges. We believe this plane is around 200 years old and has the usual marks for a plane of this age.
