I paid about $60 for this beauty on Ebay. I was looking around for some cheapo rusty plane but when I saw this one I knew I wanted it. The knob and tote are in great condition. There is little rust and pitting. Most of the japanning is still intact. I still plan to clean it up to make it more pretty. I can’t wait to finally have square stock (which has been the bane of my past woodworking experience growing up before I knew better XP). I was about to buy a planing machine until my brother got me into hand tools.
The heaviest amount of pitting I can find (trying to decide between sanding it off or epoxy)

Beautiful plane, congrats! My fave type.
That pitting is a non-issue. The tool has been cleaned up nicely. Tune and use, welcome to the slippery slope!
