J Steiner crown molder, 3 15/16" wide by 12 1/8" long. The top of the tote appears to have been broken and replaced during its' period use. This altered long-tip tote styling (ca 1810 or after) is deemed to be later than the plane's actual manufacture date which is believed to be the mid / late 1780s. 

(The presentation of visually based elements (scale imprints, scale drawings, etc.) is a challenge, especially when moving from the printed page to the realm of an electronic medium. For reference, the original GAWP 5, CAWP, BARS and SOJ publications had pages which were 8-1/2" in width.)
