Does anyone know how to date a wooden Ohio smooth plane. My dad just picked one up and I would like to try and get a year for it. I'll try to get some pics up next time I'm at work.

Not sure how to determine a date on Ohio tool planes , but I would love to see a picture of what you found.  I know Ohio tools was in business from 1823-1920, but that is about all I have.  I do have a Roger Smith reprint of a c. 1910 Catalog No 23.  Maybe what you have would match one of the illustrations.

Flowers and chocolates are always reliable.

Sorry, someone had to say it.

Should have seen that one one coming.

I'll try to post some pics of the plane soon.

Sorry i took so long, but here are pictures WeibelC sent me to post.
