I found a listing on CL for an old but pretty complete Stanley #46 rabbet plane. It looked decent and was listed for $20.00. I called and I was 3rd in line for it. I offered $25 for it, which was accepted and I was on my way to pick it up. On the way I received a call back saying it had just been picked up for $30.00 (which I would have matched, but didn't get the chance). It was in nice shape.

Here is a seller's photo of it.

Nah, I bet he's pretty happy with it and won't let it go. :rolleyes: I didn't NEED it, but it was interesting and in decent shape. I tried. It would have been fun to see what I could have done with it. :wave:
 
I'm guessing rabbets. That's what you could have done with it. :p

Ken,

I understand that that tool is quite versatile. I would have liked to get it, and I do respect that the seller at least called me. I did not want to get into a bidding war over it though.
