Great stuff, Zak.
I particularly like the pressed horn scales.

You mean all of them?

Yes, all. To be honest I might like the hunting scenes the most.

Heh, that's only almost all of them.

They are superb Zak!

AWESOME Zak!!

They've found another good home!

They're all very nice, quite like the John Barber....splendid all!

That auction house is tough. Shipping all separately instead of combining. OTOH, I guess with the volume they are dealing in it is understandable.

Great collection there Zak. I've never gone after the pressed horn on the bay because the collectors of PH scales are serious about their razors. Deep pockets and ain't afraid to dig down into them from what I've observed.

The separate shipping thing was an administrative weirdness. The absentee bid was technically done through a third party website. All the others got FedEx'd in one big old bundle.

And yeah, I did a showdown on a particularly nice pressed horn razor through ebay. It remains the single most expensive razor I've bought.

(Though in this auction I bid way, way higher on that gilt Rodgers pair, I just got outbid)

Here's my loot from the auction. Already resold the one in bad shape. Wostenholm diminutive travel razor, in pressed horn scales "Fame" and "Hope". A small piece, real joy to have.
