Hi its down to you for restoration, but for me I would restore it, good to see the spanner, actually the spanner does help to date the machine, I would say it late 1920’s early 1930’s. If the spanner is what is referred to as a cut away (that means no metal around the letters) then it would be pre 1920.
The main importers of Planets were Lloyds of Letchworth, better known for their Pennsylvania lawn mowers.
I’ll put up a picture of yours from one of our catalogues shortly
