Information about Fillester Plane


Illustration from 1872 Greenfield Tool Company Plane catalogue (p.24) illustrates a couple of similar fillister planes. The closest to our example would be no. 278: "Fillester with side-stop, with cut, shoulder-boxed (no screw stop)." In 1872, this cost $1.85, though boxwood, rosewood, ebony, and beech all put the price up higher.
