Ottoville collector plots history of Ohio tools Toledo Blade, OH
Mr. Devitt organized the book by cities so readers can see at a glance what was manufactured in their hometown. Toledo's entry covers 20 pages.
Ironically, Ottoville, where Mr. Devitt lives, is not listed; that area's history is largely agricultural rather than industrial, and Mr. Devitt only has one tool in his collection that was made in Putnam County.
He illustrated what is essentially a 388-page list with 2,500 pictures and drawings, from simple axes to highly complex threshing machines.
Wooden planes used by carpenters to shave a wood surface are his favorite.
He has about 500, and his nickname - Just Plane Jack - is a reference to them.------------------------------------------- posted 6:19 AM :: reference link ::
