Title: Preston Spokeshave Model No. ?
Post by: rustyric on April 26, 2018, 04:26:25 PM

Hi can anyone please tell me the model number of this Preston Spokeshave. As you can see from my photos the blade has quiet some angle to it, do you think this is intentional ?

Hello, I don't have a photo to verify this, but i am going to guess at a No. 1379 Improved Iron Spoke Shave. The blade looks a victim of out of square sharpening. Regards, Lou
