Think of it being used to cut a "groove"/dado in various shapes.

Depending on blade, used to cut coves and various shapes when making
custom molding.The "V" goes down, but can be used at an angle for
various shapes.

Haven't seen one used in years, but my maternal grandfather had one.

I'm not sure the CL seller knows what they have there.

Halfway down the page, sold for $695.00

With the wooden handles and a third set of "attachments" for deeper
cores, in fine condition.

Well, the dealer you referenced doesn't know the difference between a
Stanley #71 and a #71 1/2. Both shown on the same page as a #71 :-).
