Tom and GGs,

This is from memory because I'm not near any references, so the details
may not be 100% correct.=A0 A.C. Bartlett was a president or partner of
the hardware distributor, Hibbard, Bartlett and Spencer of Chicago.=A0
Their in house brand of planes (think Keen Kutter and E. C. Simmons) was
A. C. Bartlett's Ohio Planes and were made for them by Sandusky.=A0 The
examples I've seen usually have a Sandusky blade and are quality planes
with excellent fit and finish.=A0 I think they were from 1880 to 1900.

They were available in a full range of styles.=A0 I've seen various
examples of molding planes, plows, and bench planes.

=A0=A0=A0 I'm not familiar with A.C. Bartlett combined with Ohio, but a
desultory search in the Archives suggests that it is not related to the
Ohio Tool that bought out Auburn Tool and so forth. Does anyone have any
more info on this company, particularly a possible range of dates of
manufacture? =A0=A0=A0 TIA, =A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 Tom Holloway Oh, ya, the
possible gloat part: $10 'murican money.
