Toted tongue plane and spinning wheel information provided by Nate Walter in 1770s & 1800s Planemakers - Toolmakers of South Central Pennsylvania Facebook group on Feb 24, 2023. Nate stated that ... "Have seen the same brand on multiple spinning wheels and yarn winders. Design details on the spinning wheels lean towards a Bucks County craftsman." Based on Nate's observations, only PA craftsmen were investigated.

​

Deeds and tax list from counties surrounding Bucks were searched, but no other carpenters / joiners were found.
