I am SO excited!
This is something I have wanted for a LONG time and didn't afford it until I found an exceptional example at a price I thought was reasonable.
In case you are not familiar with the Stanley #289, it is a skewed rabbeting plane.
The more common 78 is a good tool, but this skewed version takes creating a rabbet or blocking for using moulding planes to a whole new level!
I had one, but it did not have the fence and basically made it useless.
This is relatively common to find examples out there without the fence.
I want to find out what it would cost to cast some reproduction fences, I am thinking there would be a market, but not sure as it is dependent upon the cost to cast, then machine the fence...
