Presbrey, S

GAWP5 states that Simeon Sr. and/or Jr. made planes marked with the larger A and B imprints. Most of these planes were "9 3/8" beech planes with heavy flat to heavy round chamfers."

This 1807 deed between Simeon Sr, housewright, and Simeon Jr, toolwright, identifies the son as a craftsman directly making tools as a trade.

(The presentation of visually based elements (scale imprints, scale drawings, etc.) is a challenge, especially when moving from the printed page to the realm of an electronic medium. For reference, the original GAWP 5, CAWP, BARS and SOJ publications had pages which were 8-1/2" in width.)
