Actually, 16 irons, 15, plus one "in the chamber". All but one have a makers mark. It's interesting, the plane is American made (D.R. Barton Rochester NY 1832-1865), but all of the marked irons are British made. Sorby, Marples, John Bull, A Hildick, John Mosley & Son, J Buck, etc...

One of the cool things is that the 4 John Bull irons also have a broad arrow stamped on them, so they were British Army tools at some point.

I've got a 1/2" reverse ogee molding plane on the way so I can make molding for door stops that matches what's in our place where someone has put modern molding in.



The molding plane should arrive today. I'm stoked.
