Product Details

20 degree bed. 2 1/2 inch iron. Nine pounds! The only known example! The HENLEY OPTICAL Co. Henley-On-Thames, Oxon in England later known as THE HENLEY PLANE Co. worked ca. 1976-81.
They made extremely high quality planes to exacting tolerances. Their planes are characterized by thick brass sides with
heavy, solid steel infill covered by rosewood.

We have acquired 10 Henley planes, formerly of a prominent Athens, Ga. collection.
Of the ten planes, eight are heretofore unknown to exist. We believe the Georgia collector commissioned these planes or simply
bought the Henley prototypes. Henley is known to have kept one of each of their planes for posterity and some of these are
marked with a number 2. The planes are mechanically 100% with zero wear but have light discolorations all over. Every single plane
except the smoother is a bevel up design with a razor slit for a mouth. You will never see finer. All have silky smooth Norris
type adjusters.
