looks like I got confused about the ending date. Turkey day is not the 26th. It's the 25th. And with most of the auctions for Movember ending at the end of the month, I will change this one to end "ON" the last day of the Month at noon Mountain Time. Sorry, Roy. You just have to wait a bit longer.
There is still more time to bid on this set Gentlemen. Completely unused!
Gee....This is a piece of history!
Found this on a knife site....
"William Temporal (1854-1923) was born in Sheffield, the son of William Temporal, a butchers’ blade forger, and his wife, Hannah. The family lived in Trafalgar Street. His brother was Thomas Temporal. William Jun. was, in turn, a butchers’ blade maker, shoe knives manager, traveller (for a corn miller), and razor manufacturer. By 1919, he was listed as a razor manufacturer at 120a (back of) Broomspring Lane. Temporal’s trade mark was ‘TEMPLE BRAND’.
William Temporal, Gloucester Street, died (aged 68) on 20 July 1923 – the day it was announced that the firm would become ‘Ltd’ (with £2,000 capital). He was buried in Ecclesall, leaving £5,170 to his widow, Emma. William’s co-directors on the company prospectus were Sydney Barton (1886-1969), who had married William’s daughter, Ethel May, in 1912; Stanley Revitt Foulds (1890-1977); and Sydney Kay (1895-1964). The latter was descended from a family of coal dealers, but as a teenager became a cutlery manufacturer’s errand boy.
A report of a fire at the workshops described Temporal’s as ‘consisting of a one, long-storey building run behind several houses in a closely-built residential neighbourhood’ (Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 7 September 1927). In the Census (1939), Kay was enumerated as a cutlery manager, living at Thoresby Road, Sheffield; Barton as the managing director of an engineering company (presumably Temporal’s), living at Chapel en le Frith. Kay and Barton managed the business into the 1950s. Sydney Kay died at The Royal Infirmary in Sheffield on 14 August 1964. He left £546. Temporal’s was not listed in directories after 1963, so Kay’s death may have resulted in Barton’s retirement. He lived at Grindleford, Derbyshire, and died on 15 February 1969, aged 82. His estate was valued at £34,379. William Temporal Ltd was struck off the register of companies in 1974."
Annnnd we have an internet proxy bid of 55.00!! :D
I sorta like having the various ending dates.
That would allow me to bid on an earlier item. If I would win that would be great and if I would loose that would free up some of my budget to bid on another.
If you start another flight of 3 I will start the bidding at $30 USD:tu
I wasn't going to because of machine problems. But I think I have that sorted out. Last flight to be posted.
Here it is! The last flight of three Strop Socks for Movember is to run to midnight Tuesday, Nov 30. Ther will be an opening bid of $30.00 I am told as soon as this is posted. Go for it!
You were told right! I will have an opening bid of $30.
If you can get your signature or makers mark on them I will start at $45.
Each Sock has, inside on the backside of the back flap has an iron-on strip that says A Razorfeld Creation. It is hidden but there.
I see it now on some previous ones I have! I didn''t know that was there.
My bid now goes to $45 USD

Nice bidding gents!
Torn myself between so many fine offerings this year.
Sad the traffic on the site has diminished, these deserve to be appreciated by many more enthusiasts, and are also fair testament to the hearts of the donors!
$60!
