It's made by Robert Marple which still makes high end woodworking tools (I have a set of their woodworking chisels.) It most likely is a specialized chisel or a blade used in turning where a piece of wood is spun around on a lathe and carved while spinning.

I agree with Rich and Tom , I think it's a reamer for furniture making . The handle was probably at right angles to the blade .
Useful in chair making . The old hand augers I have seen usually have a screw type of tip so that the tool can easily bite into the material . |

Its a taper auger used for tapering an already drilled hole, for making bung & tap holes, & as stated for fitting legs to plank seat chairs.It normaly has a t-shaped handle.
