used with a special hand plane with a profiled cutter to make mouldings and the like
Became obsolete with the shaper and died entirely with the router.
only used now by some serious hobbyists and pro's who have a name big enough to not care about the time spent to use one.

Absolutely not!
I have 8 hand planes, all handed down from family and friends of the family who have passed. All in working condition, and I use most of them frequently. Thats like saying scraping died when surface grinder came about, and "Bridgeports" died from CNC's I guess sometimes doing things the "Old Fashioned Way" is a lot more fun

I would bet its off an old power plane like the Stanley. They had really long bottoms like a jack plane about 16" or more. But it could be different kind of planes guide ,Sargent made planes ,miller falls . could even be a stop for a boring machine . the ones for building barns . It's a good whatsit fer sure.
