Found this 1/2 inch plane in my tool caddy from an old purchase.  Googled "bips" and couldn't find anything. Maybe someone could shed some light on this???

    Probably the name/nickname of the tool owner

    When my dad was an apprentice back in the old country, tradesmen would identify their tools by marking them with the first two letters of their given name, followed by the first two letters of their surname. That's where I got the name "HARO". I wonder if your plane belonged to some Bill Psalter, or whatever.

    "John", HARO was your dad's initials?

    And mine, Dan. Dad's name was Johannes, or Hans for short, I was named Hans at birth, but when we immigrated to Canada, someone told us that we should go by John, the English version. I've been Johnny or John ever since, though I never officially changed my name.
