Wood plane identification

I can't seem to find the exact American company who makes this wood plane and I would appreciate any help. The frog is stamped steel. I'll provide some pictures.

@steve newman I bought it on EBay and it was in terrible shape. I completely redid the plane and now it works well and it also looks good. You should have seen the iron it had huge nicks in it and I took them out by hand. The plane works really well now without all the rust and I painted it to keep the rust from returning.

Gives you a warm feeling all over, don't it!? :D

Biggest problem I found on those types of planes....that bolt that holds the lever cap...wiggles.    Unless you get it super-tight, settings won't hold.   

 

The planes will take a beating.  They were sold to the average weekend Honey-doer  for those around the house items.   Like a sticky window sash, or a passage door that was sticking.

 

PEXTO sold their tools in Hardware stores, geared for such jobs.   Their Chisels and Braces were first rate.   They had a chuck for their Brace drills called Samson.   Better than any other chucks at the time.    had ball bearings inside, as well..

I have it listed on eBay because I have some Stanley planes. I reconditioned this to sell because I would like to get some more Stanley planes in the future.
