Does anyone know intended the use of this plane from Glasgow?
Unusual profile. I am thinking perhaps some type of sash plane... (?)
The fence only moves about 1/2" or so...

Interesting - it looks like it will cut a chamfered dado.

If you look at Sash meeting rail planes.
It may be this was more of a Scottish style?
Approximate dates 1828-1875

Thank you all. Absolutely spot-on! Sash meeting rail, or perhaps sash meeting lintel?

That is the profile on my meeting rails here in Aberdeen.

Wow! I find this amazing. It has come full circle! Back to Scotland! Thank you so much for the post and picture!

The owner and I share the same surname, which is Scottish too.
