W&B Monkey Tails
Hi Guys,
Thought you might want to see a really nice set of W&B's I just picked up. They are a set of W&B 6/8 Specials named Aristos made for a shop named Curley's in NY. The elongated monkey tails say "Improved Tang" on them. I have never seen another set like this. Most likely made in the early 1900's. Excellent to near mint condition as well. Awesome shavers.

beautiful razors!
But I would think they are even older than that as wade and Butcher closed doors in 1890.

1890? -- I don't know about that.

Actually, here they are. Tell me if you disagree:
Bad reflection there on the second one.

Very nice razors there Lynn. We gotta stop talking about these nice W&Bs or their prices on eBay will go through the roof like the Dubl Ducks.

"Aristos" is a classical Greek adjective, meaning "best" or "most excellent" (of a kind). Very bold and classy name!
