Pair of matching molding planes

[Richo B]

At Klingspor's of Cary yesterday and bought this matching pair of #2 molding planes (hollow and round) both made by the same maker. I have always considered it a rare find to locate matching planes by the same maker unless you're buying from a tool shop that has LOTS AND LOTS of molding planes and there's a chance of two being the same or from a collector that has already matched the set. "M. Townsend" is marked on the front and back of each plane. Blades are included (I wouldn't have bought them if they weren't).

Nice find.

I saw a matched 1/2 set of hollows and rounds in Jacksonville today...9 pairs.

And how proud were they of that half set Chris?

What store? I've tried looking for tools in Jacksonville before but found the shops there don't carry any. I'm probably not going to the right ones.

$500.... I didn't look at them closely but they seemed in good shape.

They were at the outside vendor sale at the Flippin Rooster.

If they were in good shape then $500 is fair.

You could always build a half set.

I'm not sure I could. I've not built any of these types of tools before.
