My cousin was cleaning out his grandpa's garage and found two of these. I found some info on them. They were made in our hometown, Oak Harbor Ohio. Kinda cool to see things that were manufactured there I must say! Taking guesses as to what it is...don't cheat like I did. I'll post the info I found in a bit, but would like to see what other people think!

I realized that when I was posting it. Wasn't sure if maybe somebody would chime in on their thoughts of what the paperwork actually means! Haha
So far I'm digging the guesses. They all seem pretty legit, however I will say nobodies hit it yet!

Looks like an unfinished crate tool! Thanks for sharing that's a new one to me

This was also made by the same manufacturer! Thought I'd share. Seems my cousin unknowingly has a collection of items from the same manufacturer. Haha

Actually, I gave that no thought. That's just the picture that my cousin sent me!

Well, this has been a great thread. I was awake in the middle of the night and found out a load of fascinating history about Oak Harbour, Ohio whilst I was searching for background on the mystery tool. :)

I'm glad you've enjoyed it...I've had the chance to enjoy it most of my 43 years I've been alive. It will always be home to me, even though we live about 12 minutes away in another nearby little rural community. It is amazing to read and research the history of the small town though.
