    Default Lots of work coming my way

    Jut got home and discovered that the bid I placed actually won this auction:

    VINTAGE STRAIGHT RAZOR LOT TALLY HO SHEFFIELD REYNOLDS - eBay (item 220431498330 end time Jun-14-09 09:45:03 PDT)

    None of the razors are in good condition, but I'm glad to finally own a Tally-Ho, even if it needs work, and the Joseph Elliott looks like a nice, hefty wedge which is another item I've been looking for. The others are all just a bonus to me.

    The seller also had a lot of hones that I didn't win. Most were useless to me, but one two-tone item caught my eye. Here's a link:

    VINTAGE RAZOR HONE SHARPENING STONE WHETSTONE LOT - eBay (item 250441059133 end time Jun-14-09 08:54:11 PDT)

    Was that hone worth the final price? My first thought was a coticule combo, but the colors looked wrong so I didn't bid as high.

    You're not kidding yourself. There's plenty of work there! With the really rusty stuff, if the pitting's not so bad they may well clean up fine.
    With the hones, i'm fairly confident that is a natural Coticule/BBW combi. Not sure on the others though. I think the final price was worth the gamble for the winner.

    Oh the Elliot is nice!
    Great catch altogether.

    Well the two tone hone is a coticule as far as I can see.
    Nice and of course worth it!

    I didn't get them either. Wish I had, but I couldn't convince myself that the one good stone was a BBW/Coticule combo. Kicking myself for not bidding higher on that one.

    It looked like a combo to me.

    Well, which other hone(s) resemble a combo?

    I dont know of any, but I am no expert .. just rolling the dice ...

    Ohhh man, I had my eye on that auction, and you're lucky I forgot to put in my snipes in time

    I really, really wanted that Joseph Elliot

    Nice job picking up that auction - once restored you'll have $150+ worth of blades.
