I went through my pile yesterday looking for Lakeside tools and came up with
3, a nice socket chisel with a script logo, a 4 1/4 plane with the same logo
on the blade, and a draw knife with the block letter logo. All the same
company?

As an additional reference see pics here of a lakeside chisel.  Nice,
hefty, solid socket chisel.  Notice that the makers mark is simple block
letters.  On my saw they are in cursive, which is also different from the
other saws that have been shown in this discussion.  I don't know if it
means anything.
