can anyone help me identify this tool. It was solid rust which I removed so I have no idea of its original color. Also I haven't found any markings.odd spokeshave.jpg

Looks like some sort of rabbeting shave, perhaps?

Dang! I've seen those before, and seen them identified...but can I remember where or what? Noooooo....
Could it be a leather tool? Kind of an odd presentation of cutting edge to material for wood.
It looks like s Shoe Shave..it was used to shape the leather for heels etc...thats my best try..a picture of one in manufactured and Patentended Spokeshaves & Similar tools by Tom Lamond
I'm pretty sure it is for leather work,too.
