Eastburn_plane_and_unidentified_plane.JPGEastburn and unidentifed molding planes200 viewsBoth are carefully carved with initials W.E.T. on the sides. I don't know who that might be; perhaps not family Robert Eastburn (1774-1854) made planes in New Brunswick, New Jersey, --1802—26-, and was probably New Jersey’s earliest planemaker. The EASTBURN imprint is the earliest of his three imprints.

Another of Henry Ambrose planes (see images 8, 9, 10 in the folder) was made by Samuel C. Cook, who also worked in Brunswick, NJ 1825-1845.

HOA___WET_molding_planes_from_Henry_Ambrose.JPGMolding Planes from the Ambrose-Brown farm130 viewsThe molding plane on the top with W.E.T. i)nitials carved does not have a readable maker's mark. The bottom beading plane with HOA initials carved carries the makers mark of John Cogdell (London 1750-1765), and belonged to Henry Osborne Ambrose my GGGrandfather (1799 - 1875), a carpenter who lived in Petersburg, VA and Sussex County, Virginia. I was able to sharpen blades on both planes and they work perfectly!Sgt42RHR
