Sargent #409 VBM smoother with a Japanned cap
A Gallery of Sargent Hand Planes
Sargent made a series of planes in the type 4 – 5 era with Japanned caps. It is unknown at this time if these short runs where special orders, or simply Sargent trying something new. A catalog listing for these has not been observed.
