It should be noted that the catalogs all state that the body and cap are black-enameled and that the handle and knob are mahogany-finished hardwood, however models with red caps and cocobolo handles and knobs have also been observed. It is believed that the red-capped models are of a later production.
The sides of these planes were not milled.
