266375 "Ed O'" <edo@e...> 2018‑08‑21 Re: Wooden Planes Marked Stothert, F. Baldwin, and Bewley
-----Original Message-----


> Info from Goodman's British Planemakers from 1700

My questions for the group are:



"Stothert / Bath" - Is this from Bath, England or Bath, Maine?  My Great
Grandfather, Bant Hanson, lived in Bath ME and my granddad, who died 22
years before I was born, grew up there.
> Stothert, George in Bath 1785-1818
> Stothert, John & William in Bath 1819-1837
> Stothert, John in Bath 1837-1941
> Stothert & Walker in bath 1842-1857
> marks are STOTHERT, STOTHERT BATH, STOHERT & WALKER BATH

Bewley - Never saw this mark before, nor have I seen F. Baldwin. Any Info?
> Bewley, Robert in Leeds 1798-1826
> Bewley, Robert & Son in Leeds 1826-1847
> marks are BEWLEY LEEDS and BEWLEY WARRANTED

I couldn't find F. Baldwin, but an American maker E. Baldwin is listed in
AWP

Oh, and the whole box set me back $35.
