When did the Ohio Tool Co cease production at their Sciotio (sp?) prison
works? Their products reached our shores here in Australia, as on the
weekend I found that my father has a wooden jack plane with their
markings.

Bob mentioned prices of woodies. I am still getting woodies (smoothers,
moulders, skews) at ~A$5 ( $2.50 in real dollars, Jeff) in good
condition at local flea markets. However, anything in steel is a minimum
of A$20 (US $10) regardless of condition and anything Stanley Made in
England is double that and anything Stanley Made in USA is double again.

Curious,
