Thanks.
I've got plans for several of these, and plan on putting some more in the classifieds.
I'm glad you made this post, because at that price, they probably wouldn't have stayed up long.

Wow what an amazing find. Veedub, you MUST let us know how these turn out.. I imagine they didn't know what they were talking about when they said they were rubber -- I bet they are horn or bakelite or something
So interesting!

If it makes you feel any better, Lynn, I really did feel bad about snapping them up so quick. The feeling lasted almost as long as it took to type in my paypal password. Originally Posted by Lynn

I really excited, and you can be sure I'll let you know. I suppose they 'could' be vulcanite (ultra hard black rubber) given their age, but they are more likely celluloid, bakelite or horn as you said. Given their apparant condition and age, it's hard to imagine the are celluloid, but we'll just have to wait and see. Originally Posted by Undream

Thanked: 317 WOOT!!! I've got 'em
My new scales just arrived.
There are 24 sets of scales all together.
Definitely celluloid (which smells an awful lot like vulcanite when sanded) and they are in just as good of condition as I'd hoped. Absolutely perfectly glossy.
The only downside is that they would only work with a 4/8 or 5/8 blade. A 6/8 would not work.
They also have a wedge built in. There's half a wedge formed into each side of the scales.
