Clean, fine, no issues. 14 inches long. Original 2 1/2 inch parallel iron by Ward. This one has the fancy finial lever cap screw and screwed sides indicating that it is one of Spiers earliest efforts. Stewart Spiers (b. 1820-d. 1899) perhaps the finest plane maker that ever existed. His planes were not only the best in quality of construction but also aesthetically pleasing. The Spiers firm operated from 1840-1936
