    Default pulling a fast one?

    Straight Razor Vintage Taylor Sheffield England - eBay (item 290522432049 end time Feb-11-11 12:19:24 PST)

    290522432049 ebay number. Is it just me or does this look like a frameback in the main pic. Then if you look at the other pics it is a different blade altogether. I was just looking at all the blades just to drool no intent of buying any.

    Wow, some great close ups. Of something. I just have to wander why. Two razors, those "closeups".

    I think it's a wedge with a framebackoid strip mounted on the front, as evidenced by this picture:

    Maybe these two can get together one can do marketing for the other. A Wade & Butcher with a pitted edge for the low price of $250.00

    Must be a steal at 250, I wonder what the two offers were on it.

    Feh!
    Typical Ebay ignorance!

    'rare' = I've never seen one before
    'Super rare' = there isn't another one on ebay at the moment
    'horn scales' = some kind of real old material they had way back then before plastics were invented even though I don't have any kind of an idea what 'horn' is (cf. 'bakelite')
    'no cracks or chips' = well, I can't see anything or even tell you whether the thing has any use left after 80+ years over over-honing.

    Think I'll stick with folk I can trust, like Larry at Whipped Dog
