    Page from an early 15th-century French prayer book, manuscript on parchment. 1812 edition of Hardying's Chronicle, and a ca. 1810ish mystery razor. ( http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ml#post1013345 )

    And, of course, Ockham's razor.

    P.s. Occam/Ockham? You'd think the English world would at least get the spelling of English names standardized and focus on screwing up other languages. So I thought I'd use Ockham just to be contrary!

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    I have a tektite purchased from the Grifith Observatory back in the 1970's. Tektites are estimated to be about 14 million years old. Or it could have fallen out of my head, still very old....

    My grandfathers Wade & Butcher, first used in the 1830's. Photos in my profile album.

    I have it being used by him in 1820, but he was just 18 then. Probably he started using it around 1830.

    Don't you also have the original deed to Londinium? And pics from Charlemagne's coronation?
