Who Manufactured the Revonoc plane?

I have just acquired a Revonoc plane, thinking that it was a Stanley No. 23 transitional plane, prior to cleaning. The markings are now clear.

Other sources also credit Stanley, and in my view is in fact made by Stanley.

Is a supplier label the same as a workplace label?

The answer is yes and no. A supplier label may wind up being a workplace label if it complies with OSHA standards and is used to identify the original contents once it enters the workplace.

However, workers often empty the contents of a supplier's storage (e.g. drum or sack) into a "secondary container." Once hazardous chemicals are moved to these containers, they need to be relabeled. This would be referred to as a secondary container workplace label.

Labeling supplies are now available for the new OSHA-GHS requirements just passed in 2012. Alternative NFPA Diamond label is also available if you wish to use these instead.
