    My mom used to say that 'you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.' OTOH, one man's meat is another man's poison ...... as she also used to say.

    If you have window wgts,that would be Plaster over slats, house would be 70+ yrs old
    I know, have restored 3 of them.
    Loved the wgts, could always gauge how strong and earthquake was by how they clanged

    HA! I wondered as I typed if anyone would know what I referred to! Have you experienced the bar and rolling weight types? Window weights! The new collectible!

    Yep. Used to live in a house with broken cables on the weights in some windows. Almost lost a finger to a falling window.

    I didn't see it linked but it was mentioned... Anchor Razor GB Razor Wade Butcher Razor Vintage Straight Razor | eBay

    For good measure. Funny how all these are coming up for sale now that the big one raked in so much, and the starting prices went up to match. Auction / collectible economies are so interesting. And proof in the pudding as to why we don't discuss prices or value here!
