Found some of my GF's great grand fathers wooden planes and things.
Don't know the name of them so if yall know let me know so I can at least label them, thanks.

Thanks Branson, I've got more but didn't want to flood the thread w/ pics.
Already accidently deleted a bunch of pics I wanted to move.

The top smoother plane is often called a  Coffin plane.   Named by its shape.

Your plow plane is probably the oldest one pictured, riveted construction and large chamfers on the edges. Are there any names stamped on the nose of the planes? Makers, and condition are key in plane collecting. Nothing beats family connection in my opinion.

I just took a sneak peak at all of them and most seem to have been stamped, but are hard to make out, to me anyway.
