Does it have anything written anywhere on it?

Those usually make me cringe when found in the wild.
If the blade seems to be of good metal, find another plane in which to use it.

That was my thought also. Paper weight maybe...pawn it off at the antique store.
Thanks

I had one with a folded metal frog like that. The brand was "Worth". It was actually Worthless. After extreme fettling it was able to take shavings from wax and soap, but always struggled with any sort of wood. It was a $2.00 garage sale find so it's in a landfill now, slowly dissolving and returning to its roots.

Sharp solves all manner of problems.

The knob and tote may be worth salvaging, if for nothing else than to use as coat hooks somewhere.
