>There is a wood plane on this auction site (end photo on top line in photo gallery) which looks like it is used to create a curved molding - not a compass plane. Is there a name for this plane and is it common?

I think this one's called a shiv, but I'm not certain.
It's the plane used to work off the top of the barrel
