Thread: The Wall Of Shame

It has an Eagle and a naked lady. What more else would you want?

Yes. Also, she IS riding a little unicycle too! Now THAT"S a trick!

I think the Goddess Helena?

Have we not discussed the winged wheel rider before? And that is the first set of cell scales like that I have ever seen. You can be sure its price is collectors battling.

Yes, I remember it too. Some goddess, IIRC. I think the wheel had wings?

This is here because of the idiot seller. "I tried to clean it, but I don't have the right tools." What is it about eBay sellers that possesses them to take 60 grit paper or worse in this case to a blade thinking knocking off a bit of oxidation, damn the consequences?

Nothing 20-50 hours of hand sanding from 120 grit or less wouldn't fix
Ah the cramping I can feel it now LOL

By not having the right tools, Is that code for I took a dremmel stone wheel to it?? Tip looks like it got mangled too.

Yea, that is dremmel damage no doubt. ruined a perfectly wonderful original razor. Sure it can be salvaged, but if he went too deep down near the bevel anyplace, it might not all come out. Makes me sad.

Means he didn't have a bench or die grinder!

I have a similar one to this guy with scratches all over it, incoming. Thought it might make an interesting restoration project. Mine looks to be sandpaper marks, rather than dremel, so I am hoping it wont be that hard to sand out. I do have quite the array of sandpaper lined up to get started, though!
