About F. Nicholson moulding planes

Francis Nicholson worked in Wrentham, Massachusetts in the first half of the 18th century and is the earliest identified American plane maker; his freed slave Cesar Chelor later made planes in the same town. The surviving work is wooden bench and moulding planes, and the examples here follow the expected pattern: yellow birch stock around ten inches with the LIVING IN WRENTHAM imprint on the toe. Condition of that mark matters most, since a worn or partial stamp is hard to attribute. Complex profiles such as bolection mouldings and plow planes with their original wedges and irons stand above simple astragals and hollows.
