MIDDLETOWN CONNECTICUT

 Baldwin Tool Company

Tool Makers of
Middletown, Connecticut

Tools Made: Plane, plane irons.

Working Dates: 1836-59

Made wooden planes under the Arrowmammett Works name. Owned by Austin Baldwin.  Plane irons made there have the Baldwin Tool Co. logo. They were sold to Globe Mfg. Co., some blades have both logos. Also, Starr Mfg. Co. made irons for them. 

An 1851 map shows the factory located on Jackson Street on the little river. This is down stream from the Starr Mill pond. The map shows a pond by the factory. I went to the area and found no trace of the factory or pond. Baldwin lived at 388 Washington Street. The house was built in 1835 but has been demolished
