Year of production: According to online information, the Juichi mark plane began production in 1952 and stopped in 1999. This plane was probably manufactured around 1990 or earlier.
Additional Information: It is unused and in good condition. The blade has no rust; the dark areas on the ura are just a buildup of anti-rust oil. Due to being in storage for a long time, the wooden body (dai) has shrunk a bit, so the blade doesn't slide in smoothly right now. You will need to adjust the fit yourself.
