It's a reformed wide molding plane that someone has named a Door Casing
Plane of Canadian origin.

So it may depend on what form early Canadian door casings look like?
Forget the whole Gutta Percha angle for a moment and I wonder if there
was ever any attempt to insert a canvas strip or something similar in
door casings to cut drafts?
