As I do not have this tool (ya, I know? Really?) and can find no good images in
a search of the web (the ONLY one I could find showing the stop is a catalog
cut),I can't make a firm statement, but can certainly take a look at good pics
to  see what it would take to make. If you can take a few with the part on good
graph paper (10mm grid with 1mm fine lines is ideal) in several orientations, I
can make a guess of what it might take to duplicate, but good dimensions, as
John said, will be needed eventually. Caliper (vernier, dial, or one of them new
fangled jobbers) and radius gauges, for a start, but good pictures will be a
good start..

If you are looking to utility rather than maximal historical accuracy, it is a
lot easier and less expensive. I should guess that the original part was a
machined casting (cast iron)? The part looks ripe to be a steel stamping by the
1960's.

The gizmo under discussion is japanned cast iron, about 5/16 thick 
overall with the ruler protrusions about 5/8 on one side and 3/4 on the 
other.  The graph paper is 1/4 inch.

More pictures of parts to a No. 100 Mitre Machine (some you may not even know
you are missing).

http://www.edoii.com/auction/mitreparts/img_0414.jpg

From the April 1938  Edition of the Stanley Catalogue No. 34A they are:
The rule is part MM18 ($.65)
The things on the left are part MM11 Low Clamp ($.45 per pair)
The thing on the right is the Rule Gauge and screw part MM10 ($.45)

Complete tool was listed in the Catalogue as "Stanley-Marsh Mire Machine No.
100" and sold for $33.75.  Surprised it was still listed with the Marsh name as
Stanley bought Marsh in 1926, and sold of existing stock with just the Marsh
name.  I looked at a 1942 catalog and still sold as Stanley-Marsh, my next
catalog is 1946 and there it is only listed as Stanley.  So sometime between
1942 and 1946 the name Marsh was dropped.  Of interest to probably no one, the
standard Stanley No. 34A went from being a Catalogue to a Catalog in the same
time period.

Ruler markings for later Stanley No. 100 (2 holes with brass eyelets for wear,
and rule starts at around 7 3/8 to account for space on tool Bed Plate.  Both
ends of the rule are rabbeted and have eyelets to mate with nibs on tool.  The
rabbets are on opposite sides of the rule and both faces are graduated exactly
the same, vertical markings like on a Stanley No. 34 1/4 VR or No. 34 1/2 V ).
Earlier ones have a single hole.

Well, I have at least six CNC's in the machine shop part of my plant, and to
make a part identical is very doable, but would be time consuming with
programming.  Easier to make a functional and not ornate part.
