I have an opportunity to make an offer on one on line. 3/8 wide, with both nickers and seems to work as intended.
What is a fair offer?

I'd think it depends on whether it's gonna be a user or a mantle piece. A user doesn't need to be perfect so a lower price but if it will sit on your display case and is in mint condition, then expect to dole out a bit more greenbacks.
For a daily user,.........maybe up to 50-75 shipping included
Display in mint condition.......150ish.
Others will chime in and say I'm way off base, and if I am I apologize.

Thank you. It is a user, nothing pretty to look at.

I agree with $50 as an offering price with an upper limit of $75 if negotiating.
Shipping USPS should be in the neighborhood of $18 for a suitable box and PROPER PACKING. You don't want a $75 worth of broken cast iron.

I gave one complete 39 3/8s away several months ago to the disabled woodworker here and I think I still have another one complete if that one goes to high.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

This is one of the #39s Arlin gave away.....I had to replace a few parts, but it works, now...
Needs a batten to guide it across the board...
Helps if you do a knife/saw cut on the far end...
Or a bead or two. This #39 cuts a 3/8" wide dado.
Do not confuse one of these with a rebate plane..
Whole nother animal.....the #78 is for rebates. Closest it gets to a dado, is on the end of a board.
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that
