Can you help ID this Plane for me?

Holy cow. I think I have this exact plane. I was literally going to take a picture tonight after work and ask the very same question on here – what is it?

I got mine passed down from my great-grandfather, and it’s in pretty bad shape – but I wanted to know at least what it was.

I hope someone can answer this question for you (and me!)

I can usually find some kind of marking on the planes that will help me ID them. I cleaned this one up a lot since the picture was taken and looked it up and down, took it all apart and the only thing I saw was the U with a circle around it. I hope someone can help and I will continue to search.

Yes, forgot to mention before but I found the U and ‘Made In USA’ stamped under it – and that was all.

Because you got me into this, I started researching more instead of going back to work!

The one they talk about here is a little shorter, but it looks awful similar:

Doesn’t ring a bell. Looks like a cool adjuster nob. Still looks like a useable jack plane. Everyone needs an inexpensive beater plane in their collection ;) Even if you already have a jack, keep this one set course and the other set more fine and you have a good pair.

That is the perfect plane to keep handy for when someone wants to borrow tools!
