The Ohio Tool Company was founded in Columbus Ohio in 1851 by Peter Hayden, of P. Hayden & Co. which had been doing business since 1842, and various associates. The company continued P. Hayden & Company’s tradition of often using prison labor for the production of tools. They used imprison labor from 1841 to 1880 when the use of prison labor stopped. In 1893 the company merged with the Auburn Tool Company of New York, themselves a frequent employer of prison labor. In 1913 the Ohio factory was destroyed by a flood. A new factory was opened in Charleston, WV the following year. The company ceased business in 1920. Source: https://www.timetestedtools.net/2016/01/27/ohio-tools-planes-and-some-history/
