What kind of plane is this?

[SOLVED: it's a Dado plane that's missing the front nicking iron. Thanks to u/halbert for the info.]

I picked it up for $10 at a garage sale on impulse. It's clearly missing an iron up front but I'd like to fine a replacement one if possible. The brass screw on top raises and lowers a steel ski that is parallel to the cutting face. I couldn't find anything quite like it with a few Google searches and I'm unclear to it's function. Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!
