Manufacturer: Sargent
Plane Type: Block
Model No: 227
The Sargent block plane number 227 is two functioned, double-ended block
plane.
The Sargent 127 has a pierced metal lever cap with a curved dome top. The lever
cap locking wheel has four circular holes punched through it and a
knurled outer edge.
The lever cap is removed/secured by turning this locking wheel which
is located under the top portion of the curvacious lever cap.
This Sargent block plane has two mouths and two blade beds; one at either end. The
forward facing position with the mouth nearest the front of the plane
is the standard block plane position. The rear facing position with the
mouth virtually at the end of the plane is for use as a bull-nose plane.
The switch of functions is performed by positioning the blade and lever
cap in the required bed/mouth.
The walls on the Sargent 127 are much thicker than the
Stanley 130
and
Record 0130 planes.
The walls at the front and back of the Sargent 127
are also taller.
The Sargent 127 block plane has no markings on the plane with the only
identifying marking being on the plane blade.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
