Answer: Which Shadow Matches the Old Hand Plane?

The Answer

The correct answer is: shadow 3.

Here is why

  1. Shadow 1 is missing the front knob.
  2. Shadow 2 changes the rear handle into a tall straight shape.
  3. Shadow 4 moves the small adjustment feature forward.
  4. Shadow 3 preserves the round front knob, curved rear handle, blade angle, adjustment knob, and long sole.

Why people miss it

All four silhouettes share the same overall length and blade angle, so the small handle and knob details decide the match.
