Hi there!

I just saw this, which I think it may be a woodworking tool, but I'm
not sure. To me, it seems to be a rare type of rabbet plane, or
something like that. BUT, the "bed" angle seems extreemely steep
(maybe scraper), and I don't know.. but can't figure out exactly how
the fence would work. I just uploaded a few pictures of it, and here
are the links:

Is there any info known about this one? I can't see any maker name
stamped on either the wood or the steel. Any info is really
appreciated!

Thanks very much!!!

What popped to my mind was a Formica edge trimmer. The steep bed angle
would be fine for that but the section projecting out the front wouldn't
be needed...

Don't know what it is (a dedicated to a manufacturing process tool), but
do know what it's not - a woodworking plane.

Appears to be a scraper, although it looks a little heavy for most
woodworking applications. Could possibly have been a metalworking
tool, or one for
for a trade such as printing.

Looks as though it may have another fence on the right side, which
would make it useful for planing/scraping items to thickness on the
bench. Such as for inlays
fishing rod sections, or something of that sort.

Looks like mounting lugs on what looks like a baseplate. It's
a part of another tool or machine.

I'd think the 'lugs' would be to attach a wooden sole - like on a
Stanley 12 1/2. Curious tool.

Could be wrong of course, but it' resembles a note maker. Those
were used long ago, before note paper was invented, and paper was very
expensive to make. You took a block of nice straight grained wood, set
one of these on top, carefully aligned with the edge of the wood. Then
you slammed down the round part on thop, which drove a blade down thru
the wood, shaving off a ery thin piece. This was was then written along
and passed to the appropriate person. The only problem then was if you
had a private note for someone, you had to make sure they could read
before you sent the note. Neat, eh?

I think this looks like some kind of rebating plane. Forerunner to routers etc.
