A good, working set of five antique British wooden moulding planes sourced from several well-known 19th–early 20th century makers, including C. Dabner, J. Buck of London, A.P. Tucker, W. Cornish and Mercel Maddox. These represent traditional cabinetmaking tools, each used for cutting shaped decorative profiles in timber before the age of mechanised cutters.
All five planes have been lightly cleaned and left in honest, workshop-ready condition, retaining their original irons and wedge arrangements. A useful selection for hand-tool woodworkers, restorers or collectors of traditional trades.
