Not daring to question the two illustrious gents who already replied, but
according to DAT, this could tie to what they said, or a different maker,
below

BEWLEY, EDMOND worked on wooster St in NY, NY from 1822 - 1830
A Thomas Bewley apparently operated this business 1831-32; both used the
same mark(s). A Robert Bewley made planes in England, but there is no known
connection. Mark (1), however, can not yet be correlated with the NY or
English maker.


Marks

(1) BEWLEY (2) BEWLEY/WARRANTED/No19WOOSTER-ST/N-YORK
Stothert - DAT has nothing

On F Baldwin, DAT is not much help, the Frank S Baldwin made Sci
Instruments and Rules.  Couple of Baldwin marks on wood planes can't be
traced to any specific Mfg, so again, the British tie in is probably pretty
good.
