Thanks for your help...this may be an obvious answer but I am stumped. I have inheretted my grandfather's hand plane...I can only find two identifying marks. First, "No. 5 1/2" at front of plane, like what you see of many stanley's etc.........no other mark found on body. (This is about the size of a stanley no. 5.) It has a corrogated sole. The only other mark is on the the piece that the blade is screwed to for support...it as the image of a blacksmith's anvil, with the word trademark surrounding it, and within the anvil body, the letters R and T, with a "O" within an "O" below it.

I am curious who made this plane and even if it is old.

Thanks for your help!

Please post some pictures of the plane. People will be better able to help you if they can see it.
