The initials R.K. is written on the bottom in black ink. There are paint stains on it.
Commentaires :	The plane is an improvement on the drawing knife. It is pushed away from the body rather than pulled toward it and far superior in workmanship. Planes were made of hard wood, walnut, oak, maple, cherry, apple, and others. Generally, planes can be separated into four basic types according to the function: beading, beveling, molding or smoothing.
