Looks like Kellogg was the maker. I would guess Harwood was the owner.

Hi Bill I hope this is the info you're looking for:
James Kellogg (Born 1792) of Amherst MA. made planes 1835 and 1840 - 1867.
The 1850 industrial census noted that he had 14 employees.
1860 industrial census lists him as a manufacturer,.... producing $8000 worth of tools..
