Hard to tell the bed angle from these pictures. Perhaps this is more of a scraper than a plane.

How is the blade held in place? Is the blade sharpened top and bottom? If so, this would infer a scraper blade.

What you have is an antique ice shaver.

Very interesting. Glad someone recognised how this was intended to be used. :thumbsup:
