what kind of plane

Have any pictures? That would be the most useful in helping us determine

Check for a stamping at the top of the cutter…

to the best of my knowledge the only manufacturer that use a “0” before the number was Ohio Tools, but they never painted their plane reddish brown or maroon.

Like Mos pointed out, pic’s will help.

What’s your plan for it?

Look like this one?

This one is a Stanley/Bailey #8c

24” long, iron is 2-5/8” wide.

Weighs in at 10 pounds.

Has a “grooved bottom”

08=Record, but the color should be a blue ?

ahhh I forgot about Records.

Probably an Ohio plane, didn’t Record mark their planes as such? Still, we want to see a picture! You can’t tease planeheads and not offer a photo.

My Record jointers are marked “08” and “07”.

Paratrooper, what I meant was didn’t Record put “Record” on the casting?

-- "hold fast to that which is good"

Yup

Unusual. Could be a house line of plane made for a department
store or large hardware store by Stanley or another foundry that
made planes. The pattern of corrugations on the bottom
may indicate which maker might have made it.

Sorry about the lack of pictures. maybe these will help. The dimensions are exactly 24” long and 3-1/8” wide and it weighs in at just under 8 pounds. As far as my plans for it I was going to just clean off the dirt and use it but because of the lack of original paint and the surface rust I plan to repaint it and use it. .!https://s3.amazonaws.com/ljimg/mjz4gee.jpg!

-- Dan, quartersawn oak = oak with stretch marks

I would say that is an Ohio Tools #08 that been stripped. Is there something that looks like a globe on the top of the iron?

Let me know if your looking to part with it. It would help finish out the set.

And if you can take a shot (picture of ) it’s backside, or tail, I can perhaps see something cast behind the tote but can’t make it out in the picture ? or is it just the lighting ?
I’m thinking Don W has nailed it, the Records I’ve seen the casting of the numbers were/are the same size,
your zero is smaller than the 8..

Its also got the knurl around the base of the front knob. Record did not have that.
