Scioto was a second grade of The Ohio Tool Company which was founded in Columbus Ohio in 1851 by Peter Hayden, of P. Hayden & Co. which had been doing business since 1842, and various associates. The company continued P. Hayden & Company’s tradition of often using prison labor for the production of tools. They used imprison labor from 1841 to 1880 when the use of prison labor stopped. In 1893 the company merged with the Auburn Tool Company of New York, themselves a frequent employer of prison labor. In 1913 the Ohio factory was destroyed by a flood. A new factory was opened in Charleston, WV the following year. The company ceased business in 1920.
The factory in Columbus was located on the Scioto River and Ohio Tool Company used the Scioto name on their “Second Grade” tools. The 1910 Catalog states the following:
“GRADES. Our regular beechwood Bench Planes are made in two grades of timber:
Ohio or First Grade.
Scioto or Second Grade.
According to the catalog, the only difference between the two grades was in the quality of the wood used. It states that “Exactly the same grade of Plane Iron is used in both Scioto and Ohio Planes”. According to “A Guide to American Wooden Planes” (Third Edition) by Emil and Martyl Pollak, Ohio Tool Company began using the “Scioto Works” mark in 1893, which was the same year that Ohio Tool Company merged with the Auburn Tool Company. Some of the Scioto Works marks also indicate that the Scioto Works planes were made in New York, which is where the Auburn Tool Co. Factory existed. While I have no proof of it, I would suspect that when Ohio took over Auburn, they used the old Auburn plant to make the Scioto planes (along with the “Ohio Grade” planes).
With this piece you can Show some Hand Tool Woodworking history from Craftsman from days past. This is a typical hand plane used in the 1700-1800 and before. It would be considered rustic or primitive decor. Perfect for the farmhouse, cabin or ranch look.
This plane can also easily be returned to service with a little restoration work if desired. It is in good enough condition, but not many woodworkers use this type of hand tools any more. That is why it is listed as decor. It’s in hope of preserving the history and interest in the crafts of earlier days. The plane itself is in excellent shape. All I have done is wiped it own with a BLO/Mineral oil mix and buffed on a coat of straight BLO (boiled linseed oil) which would have been the traditionally used preservative. A replacement wedge has been made.
