A 9.5" long beech molder with flat chamfers has been reported by Dan Linski in July 2025. This plane easily fits with George's estimated starting date of the late 1790's.

"Early" 9.5 inch long molder with flat chamfers vs "later" 9.0 inch long molder with rounded chamfers. Dan noted that the wedge on the earlier example "resembles those of the Schauer's from East Petersburg."

(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.)
