craftsmen.

Subject: [oldtools] Planer H. Slater Maker Olerkenwell London

Hi,

I am now in the possession of my Great Grandfather's planer.  The
inscription on the side reads as follows:

"H. Slater Maker Olerkenwell London".  Does anyone know about this  
maker?  I
am trying to date the thing.  My Grandfather came to Canada from England
c1908.  It is about 10 inches long and 3 inches high and 1 =BD inches  
wide.
It is mostly steel with wooden inlaid handles on top.  Does anyone know
about the Maker?  Thanks Tammy
