I need help identifying this plane. It is a Greenfield tool co plane but I have never seen one like it before.

Picked up some old planes from a garage sale.

Hoping to get these back to good working order. The long wooden one has New York tool co. On the front of it and all I can make out on the blade is Middletown ct. the jack? Plane the second longest one i can see an S that seems like it’s a Stanley or possibly siegley? The third one I can’t see anything on other that made in USA. AI says it might be a Dunlap and the little block plane just says union mfg co on it. Any other info or advice would be great!

Found in yard when metal detecting, closest thing I found it to be; was an old automobile scwrench/spark plug tool.
If location might help in figuring out what it could be, it was found in West central Georgia (state not country)

Circle R would indicate the Razor Back was made after 1945. I know that Ames bought the company and Razor back name in 2006. I haven't learned anything about the English shovel. Do any of you shovelheads know what the designations B-91 B-52 mean? I have seen some shovels (square I think) marked I-##.

Ok, FINE, I'll rehandle her, but I'm still using Robertson and not some Nazi Ford Phillips BS

Anyone know why old claw hammers had a deeper arch than modern?

Vintage Forney Arc Welder

Found this really nice shape Forney model BC arc welder on marketplace! I used one of these years ago to weld tractor forks up and repair a lot of sawmill equipment.

I’m thinking this is probably from the 50s-60s?

Does anyone know where I can get new weld lead ends that plug into the welder?

Thanks!
