These again were planes that MARPLES had manufactured [by MOSELEY & Son?] for sale quite early on and they first appear in the 1862 Catalogue:
The 1873 entry was thus:
Note the item # system now.
By 1897, with a different # system we see this:
And of course in 1909 a new numbering system shows these planes being available:
#3021 Common Ogee to 5/8″ and 1/8″ increments to 1″ available at extra cost.
#3026 Quirk Ogee to 1″.
#3028 Quirk Ogee & Astragal to 1″ and 1/8″ increments available at extra cost.
#3031 Quirk Ogee & Quirk Bead to 1″ and 1/8″ increments available at extra cost.
#3023 Grecian Ogee to 1″.
#3024 Grecian Ogee and Bead to 1″.
#3030 Quirk Ogee and Bead to 1″.
#3030 Q O & Bead
After WWI in 1921 the sizes and planes are exactly as per 1909 Catalogue and surprisingly the prices are exactly the same!
But in 1928 we can see a reduction in the sizes:
#3021 to 1/2″ + 1/8″ increments to 1″ at extra cost.
#3023 to 3/4″ + 1/8″ increments at extra cost
#3024 to 3/4″ + 1/8″ increments at extra cost.
#3026 to 3/4″ + 1/8″ increments at extra cost.
#3028 to 3/4″ + 1/8″ increments at extra cost.
#3030 to 3/4″ + 1/8″ increments at extra cost.
#3031 to 3/4″ + 1/8″ increments at extra cost.
In 1938 AND 1959 only 2 planes are listed, exactly the same as per 1928 specs, #3021 [ Common Ogee] & #3023 [Grecian Ogee].
As with most of the other Shamrock Brand hand made planes the last to be offered for sale were in c.1963.
