The brass GTL smoothing plane is as the name suggests, a plane made
predominantly from brass.
The plane is constructed with a brass body, brass frog and brass lever

The lever cap bears the markings 'GTL'.

Smuggy - I've been collection tools for 20 years and I always have a couple of these
planes in my collection.
Some say that as a user plane they are hopeless but seriously, who would ever use
them. They are beautiful to look at and are nice to display. I suppose that is the
difference between a collector and a user of planes.
