That is a great price for an excellent plane.
The war-era planes tended to be a little heavier than the pre-war and post-war planes because the molds for casting the bodies were used more times (since so many of the patternmakers were gone to war). A little bit of extra weight is a very good thing for a #6.
I already have more #6's than I could justify if LOML saw them, but this is still tempting. I hope that someone jumps on this before my resistance fails.

Nice plane for sure and I agree on the price. My grandpa bought a brand new #8 right after returning from WWII. It cost him $50…..a full week’s worth of pay. $60 seems fair
