YS19 Auburn Tool 3/4" Dado Plane

Back in the day, when this plane was made, companies sometimes used prisoners locked up in the joint to make their wares. Auburn was one such company. I guess woodworking planes were the license plate equivalent of the 19the century. This 3/4" dado plane is a handy size for plowing groves in stair stringers or any other work that requires housing a 3/4" thick board. Skewed blade is lapped and ready to be honed. Stock dead straight, this plane will be back in service with only very minor fettling. A great example.
