I bought my first infill plane at a local tool auction a few months ago. I had to do a lot of work on the tote, and spent hours lapping the sole and blade, but it seems to work now. The bed angle and mouth opening were quirky too and needed some adjustment.
The plane doesn’t have a makers mark, I suspect it’s Scottish. The blade is marked Warranted Johnson Cast Steel with a C.J. flag logo.
Interestingly, the tote slides into a dovetail channel cast into the iron body. It was loose when I received it… I had to strip and shim the dovetail section, fit it to the channel, and epoxy it in. The tote is beech, heavily darkened with age. The front knob/bun thing might be mahogany, hard to tell.
