Continental Jointer Wood Plane.   Ref 203.    £75.00.

Probably originally from France or Low Countries, an unusually narrow for a jointer plane. 
The blade is missing.
Artisan made and engraved, possibly earlier than the date 1834. 
Many continental planes were individually made by the owner, not being produced by planemakers. 
Note: Centuries ago skilled carpenters, and masons, were employed in the building of Cathedrals. They were not simply workers but devout worshipers expressing their beliefs through the decoration of their tools. IHS is the monogram that represents Jesus, in Greek “Iesus Hominum Salvator” this symbol is often found included. https://thisrestlesspilgrim.wordpress.com/2011/04/19/ihs/

Ref 276.   £500.00.

C. Early 1900’s detailed model  based on the trading, 4 mast, square rigged clipper ship probably from the 1850’s. 
“The Master” is a 4 mast sailing, trading ship, fully rigged but with no sails. There is slight damage to the rigging. The frame to the left of the box has been replaced, we have left this box without glass, the new owner could have the glass replaced by removing this side.
