Set of 7 - Clifton Anniversary Planes [Preowned, Unused]

Product Description

A wonderful set of 7 Limited Edition Clifton Anniversary Planes 2010.

One of 12 full sets known to have been sold from this Sheffield planemaker. 

(Note - Classic Hand Tools sold the vast majority of the planes when they were launched as a limited edition, so we are very confident of our numbers). 

You are buying a small slice of the long history of toolmaking in Sheffield, England.

This is a matched set of 7 Clifton planes all with walnut handles, hand forged irons, 2 piece cap irons. Each plane is engraved with the number "9 of 25 Limited Edition Clifton"

Only 12 complete sets were ever sold as the remaining sets (15) were broken up and planes sold individually. Classic Hand Tools know the location of 6 of these 12 full sets and last sold a complete set in 2019 for £2750. 

These planes pre-date the current ownership and production (Thomas Flinn, Sheffield). Boxed, unused, scarce! 

Clifton planes formed part of Clico Engineering business in Sheffield and these businesses were separated and sold several years ago. Thomas Flinn of Sheffield took over the making of Clifton planes and these planes are still available worldwide, although they have discontinued the hand forged blades and 2 piece cap irons now amongst other changes..

(Note the planes in this limited edition set are perfect, the green colouring is on the brass and is normal. the brass just needs a very light clean)

Every plane has its own box with a Clifton Anniversary Plane sock and a certificate of authenticity.

(Not the boxes are all original with a slit to one of these , the No.7)

This is a commission sale.

We are happy to take additional photographs or answer any questions re. shipping etc.

There is no intention to break up the set.
