I have had this plane for awhile bought it at the flea market maybe 2 years ago...
I recently started using it for a project and disassembled it for cleaning and sharpening. After reassembly and some use I was seeing poor performance and after some adjustments, moved the frog further back, it performed great.
During this process I did some research on it and cannot determine the maker. There is the made in USA stamp, a U stamp on the body and on the body as well as a number 2. The iron is stamped with Parplus.
I have attached some pictures. I am betting this is a frankenplane...
