The Revos apparently are designed to clamp railroad ties and pull together horrifically prepared joints

If the body's not got any cracks or obvious repairs, absolutely buy it. No. 9's are somewhat rare. A rehabbed version would definitely be a collector's item. Very good condition ones are selling for upwards of $800.

Is that a hotdog handle laying there between the blade and lever cap?

Please tell us he made the purchase.
Looks to be a good rehab project, as Bandit said.

He did buy the tools. His $15 also included a 8" 2101 brace and a Stanley 80 scraper. I don't know if he plans on keeping the plane or selling it to get funds for tools he needs more

Cool.
Was just reading about the No. 9 on Superior Works ( Patricks' Blood and Gore ).
Lots of good info available there of course.
For the price paid, he did very well. Even if it has flaws.

Plus a 2101. The ultimate cordless drill with a chuck that'll handle any bit style, with an unequalled ratchet and a motor that runs on tea and biscuits (coffee and cookies that side of the pond.) FFS. Was a bit of a silly question then, wasn't it? I'd have insisted on giving several times the asking price: would have felt too much of a louse to fleece an uninformed seller by that much. Unless the source seemed shady? Then I'd want to check with local WW groups for the real owner.
