Hello all,
I started woodworking about a year ago but spent a lot of that time restoring old woodworking machines to build up my shop. Despite my love of power tools I have recently had several projects that simply require the use of hand planes. I previously did not own any hand planes so I went to ebay and bought a few. So far the few I have gathered are obviously made by stanley. However the jointer plane I purchased is not so easy to identify. It was originally advertised as a stanley but I now have my doubts.
I have gone to a number of websites trying to identify this plane on my own but the vast majority of those sites are geared to either stanley planes or planes with patent dates. This plane has neither. The only markings on the plane are the words "No 7" at the front of the plane and the word "COLUMBIA" on the blade. Below are some pictures I took of the plane and the hardware.
Anyone have any idea of who made this plane?
