A friend just gave me 9 old wooden planes that belonged to his grandfather. They look like a set, but only one has any markings: "Fritz Blaser" and "Basel". A Google search revealed a building supply company called Fritz Blaser & Cie AG, in Basel, Switzerland. The company was founded in 1882. I haven't found anything that refers to them making woodworking planes.
The planes are each about 5" long. They are all in pretty good shape, especially considering they have been in storage for at least 40+ years and probably were not used for many years before then. Very little rust.
Does anyone know anything about planes like these made by the Fritz Blaser company? Thanks, --Rich
