    Default Reasonable condition for their age...

    I was interested in these at first, then nearly fell off my chair when I scrolled down and saw the images, here.

    Goes to show you that one person's definition of "charming" is not necessarily the same as another's. I couldn't help but notice the one is etched ground on a 3"stone. Too bad, those would be highly desirable in fine condition.

    They look like they have been in a knife fight.

    Seller must be a real estate agent to use charming as a descriptor for those blades. Charming, simply charming.

    'real estate agent' - I like that, Bob! How about:

    ...Charming pair of detached, characterful unmodernized razors in spacious accomodation - a secure, gated development, ideal for renting or refurbishment. A bijou set with highly individual features exhibiting much potential but with a quaint olde worlde feel....

    Regards,
    Neil

    The scales look like Ivory, at least one of them is I think.

    I got caught out by it as well. I got excited when I saw one was a Nowill. Great maker. I reckon some people treat ebay as an option to their rubbish bin.
