Description

View Vintage Wood Plane "Coffin Style" Ohio Tool Co with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Shows expected "character" wear, including small dings and surface checking from age. • Model No. 22: This designates the Ohio Tool Co. standard smooth plane. • The Maker's Mark: The "Scioto Works" stamp is visible on the toe. This is a genuine 19th-century "coffin" shaped smooth plane from the Scioto Works line, manufactured by the Ohio Tool Company. The "coffin" name comes from the distinct curved shape of the body, designed to fit comfortably in the user's palms for fine finishing work. Key Features & Markings: • Model No. 22: This designates the Ohio Tool Co. standard smooth plane. • The Maker's Mark: The "Scioto Works" stamp is visible on the toe. This was a specific brand line produced in Columbus, Ohio, following the merger of Auburn and Ohio Tool Co. • The Heel Stamp: Clearly stamped "22" on the back, confirming the model. • The Sole: Notable for an antique mouth repair (inlaid wood). This was a skilled repair done by a craftsman to close the gap in front of the blade, allowing for much finer shavings and preventing "tear-out" on the wood. Condition: • Body: Solid beech wood with a dark, authentic patina. Shows expected "character" wear, including small dings and surface checking from age. • Iron/Blade: The iron and wedge are present. The metal shows heavy surface oxidation (rust) but remains thick and sturdy. It will require cleaning and honing if you intend to put it back to work. • Overall: A fantastic "as-found" piece for a collector of Ohio-made tools or a woodworker looking for a worthy restoration project. Please review the photos carefully to appreciate the stamps and the historic mouth repair on the sole Condition: Used.
