Chuck,

Though I don't consider myself an expert on Toledo tools, having lived
in the area for way too long, I have an interest in Toledo area tool
makers. I don't recall any old manufacturers known for edge tools from
Toledo just levels, saws, some hardware stores that put their name on
planes and one manufacturer of unmentionable style tools.

Since you described the width of these gouges in mm's and one has a
plastic handle, they sound fairly modern. Do you think they may be from
Toledo, Spain?
