A wooden crown molder or cornice plane. Plane is rectangular in shape with handle and top discharge. On opposite end of the body from the handle, vertically in relief, is [(illegible) / LIVING*IN / HOLLISTON].
There are dents from past use disguised by subsequent staining, but newer dents and abrasion at toe of stock. The top of the handle has a small chip loss. The metal guide has an uneven layer of iron oxide. Exit holes on handle, wedge, and stock; evidence of past insect activity. The top of the stock's toe exhibits cracks, inactive insect holes, delaminating fibers, and dryrot, all of which suggests past water damage or presence of sapwood.
