Earlier dates
I recently got hold of my dads old surform and was surprised to find it was made by "Simmons Accessories Ltd" in the UK rather than Stanley. Doing a little digging I can find a references to Simmons making the surform in '56 and also an earlier one to Australian patent by Firth in 1949--Salix (talk): 13:56, 29 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I have worked this information into the article.  Your second source is a discussion group, and they mention a reliable source:  Australian Woodworking PlaneMakers Second edition by Trevor D. Semmens.  I have not seen that source but I accept the discussion group as an indirect source. --Una Smith (talk) 15:48, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
