Possibly a Stanley #60 - from Leach on Spokeshaves:
"The #60 is actually two spokeshaves in one. A straight iron and a concave iron are fitted into the tool side-by-side. Each of the irons is 1 1/2" wide, which is far narrower than the normal width of 2 1/8" used on most of the other spokeshaves. Still, the tool is nice for general purpose work within its range. There is a flaw that this spokeshave tends to suffer. The casting that's used to secure the two blades in place often is cracked near one of the three screws. Stanley made an attempt to correct this problem by replacing this piece with a flat bar of steel."
Cheers, Alf
