Greetings Rhykenologists,
Can you identify this plane's purpose?

Looks like it might be to cut a sliding dovetail.
Cheers

Hi Tom.
What a bizarre plane.. but what a great find
It looks home made and from the way the screws on the brass plate have been cut through to make one of the mouths? (what is that silver U shape in the first photo? a slitter?) it looks to me like somebody was making it up as they went?
Somebody's answer to a repeatable and finely adjustable groove (T-slot?) obviously whatever the cut was it was required enough to drive somebody to spend a sleepless night putting your plane together to make the job easier.
I'm sure somebody will come in and prove me wrong soonBest regards, Luban

I rather like Patrick's description of a "collision of porcupine and wood plane"
