    Don't know the date but it looks a lot like the Plumb Lathing Hatchet in the 1927 catalog but also in the 1965 catalog, the 27 has USA under Plumb but the 65 doesn't, 65 calls it a lath hatchet and the 27 calls it lathing hatchet. They both show it with the waffle face. I wish all tools had the year stamped on them but a guess would be around 60-100 years old by just what little I could find.

    One tip that I use is to use a square and make sure that the frame hasn't shifted, then tape on the corners and sides with masking tape to keep it from moving around on me. I rescreened 10 of them 72" x 30". It made it much more manageable, and they fit perfectly.
