my 2 cents worth.
Luban, theTruedge plane blade sharpener tool has been bugging me ,i'm wondering if what you have is only part of the tool might there have been a bottom piece that the heel of what you have, sat in with the sharpening stone as a unit and the elevation of the heel was achieved with another part which would be a base.? Lloyd. p s is that worth 2cents

I sent an email off to the htpaa a couple of days ago.. if I learn any more about it I'll post here.
in the mean time I found this brass copy of a Stanley 181 buried in a stall of household stuff at a school fete of all places.. $3
It's a very decent copy.. I have started cleaning the black ash and muck from it and you can sort of see what it will be.

It is not unheard of to find brass copies around here, foundry workers on their lunch break I guess (well, it's what I'd do on my lunch break if I was working in a foudry) I once had a beautiful copy of a 71 that I still regret giving away.
I'm sure there are chaps collecting copies of Stanley planes.. it would make for an interesting collection, there would be all sorts of different materials used and work arounds for the harder to copy parts.
No other tresure at this end.. just the obligitory bottle of marmalade from the Sunday market.Best regards, Luban

As our American friends would be wont to say "YOU SUCK'" a truly gloat-worthy find..
I have heard rumors in the past of something called "pig market" maybe this is one of those?
Pig Market, as I understand it was a semi-underground trade in copies of well known, and presumably pricey tools, that was carried on by employees of various firms moonlighting...
Very interested to know more, if anyone can add to the history..
Regards

Interesting mod on the clamp. Can you get a close-up picture using Macro on the camera, of the chisel mark? This may help to identify the maker. With Made in Sheffield made in 20th century, so mark may appear in a Sheffield directory.
Cheers

espn
I mucked about with the macro but to no avail. This is the best I could acheive.
In fact the closer you get the worse it is.
It looks like ESPN but I cant believe it was silver plated. Other possibilities are grs or ESRN.

I've just had another look at the chisel Mark
Could it be something like this indicating property of the Crown?.... some old things are lovely
