Working tool

The object shown in the image is an antique wooden bench plane.
It is an old manual carpentry tool characterized by a very long solid wood body, designed specifically to straighten, level, and true the edges or surfaces of long wooden boards.
Visible main features:
Rear grip (Tote): Carved from wood and positioned at the back to push the tool while applying constant pressure.
Elongated bed: The considerable length of the base serves as a natural geometric guide: the plane rises over dips and only cuts the highest crests until the piece is perfectly straight.
Blade and wedge: In the center you can see the cutting assembly inserted into the mouth, where the metal blade is held in place by the typical wooden locking wedge.
The brand heat-stamped on the wood identifies this tool as an imported French piece: it is the maker "Aux Campanelles" (whose planes were forged and stamped with the silhouette of the church bell tower).
Dimensions are:
Length 65 cm
Height with handle 17 cm
Width 8 cm
The item will be packed with great care and shipped by tracked mail.
