A friend gave me a few tools that belonged to his grandfather - a master carpenter in the Grand Rapids, MI area.
Included were a couple of wooden planes. One is a Ohio Tool King 051. I think I can get it in shape to take a shaving or two.
Looking for your opinions on the second. By the way, if you click on the photo, it should right itself...I think.

Having trouble ID'ing the maker. Maybe someone can shed some light.

My main concern is the mouth and depression just in front of the mouth. It's a good 1/8".

Not real thrilled it's covered in poly or something either...but whatever.
So, can this be a user...or destined to the old tools display shelf?
Thanks all.
