Totally agree here.  One of the absolute stars of my plane-shelves.

Also, my experience is that while they're kind of rare out in the wild,
for some reason they don't seem to be particularly sought-after,
consequently the prices seem to reasonable --or, at least 
"not-totally-unreasonable".

The only real problem is that many dealers (at least those over on the 'Bay)
don't seem to know what these are.  For example, it's pretty common
to see. say, a wooden plow plane being advertised as a "moving 
fillister plane:.

(I actually have two.  The first one came intact.  The second one was
missing the bottom-fence, so was dirt cheap and became a DYI project.)
