Just did a quick perusal through Sandusky, Sargent, Auburn and Ohio Tools
catalogs, and none of them are as old as 1865.  All of them only show the
grooving plane of the match plane sets.  None mention horn or bone, so
wondering if it's a user add on.

Sandusky 1869 - 1926
Ohio Tool  1823 - 1920
Sargent 1855 - 1970
Auburn 1864 - 1893

Here is a typical listing, this from Ohio, in 1910.
