Can't tell you the name, But I have an Antique Dresser from the 1850's
that uses the same joint for the drawers.

I have seen the joint and a jig to make that joint. The name escapes me
though. I really liked the joint and was going to buy the jig. But
something came up and it did not happen.

Do molding planes cut end grain? That sounds excessively punitive.

Actually I think it was designed as a machine-made joint. You could do
the front with a quasi-forstner style bit (with a hole in the middle) in
a line-boring sort of machine. The side would probably be some sort of
molding head.

It's called a "pin and crescent joint".
You can make them with one of these:

Wow... can you imagine making a chest of drawers with those joints
with a few homemade saws and some smith/homemade chisels circa 1850s?
Ouch.

Oh, gosh, you would ask! :) FWW had a Letter to Editor asking same
thing a while (probably 2+ yr???) but I forget what they actually called
it. Whether it would be searchable and findable on the FWW web site
I've no idea.
It is roughly 20's vintage or a little earlier iirc.
