Restoration? Brush? Razor?
I’ve had this piece for some time and recently had it replated in nickel silver. The original plate was beginning to peel and the tarnish was driving me nuts . Problem solved except the mirror ( beveled and it telescopes) backing is solid engraved silver but I can deal with that.
Since it’s displayed in my living room it should look decent.
The green bottle and milk glass bowl came with the piece. To round it out I made green acrylic so I could build a brush that seems fitting. I also made the creamy section for it then fitter it with a silver tip knot.
Since I had also made a sheet of green acrylic I used that to make scales for a refreshed Wester Bros. Blade. The shape of the scales mimics the shape of the stand and being a bit ornate I decided to go froo-froo on the pins and washers.
A fancy silver DE was added to round out the display.
So was this a restoration? A razor resto? A brush build? Wasn’t sure where to post it but I think it’s cool wherever I put it .

That's a beautiful piece of shaving history.
You did an impeccable job bringing it back to it's full glory.
