Thread: Awesome grooming box

Check this baby out.

Nearly all is silver. I've asked the vendor to check that ther razors are ivory. I suspect they are.

AN ANTIQUE MEN'S GROOMING SET. THIS IS VERY OLD AND THERE ONLY SEEMS TO BE ONE PIECE MISSING. ALL IN ALL, INTACT.
CONTAINS:
3 GLASS BOTTLES WITH LIDS
TWO STERLING SILVER LIDS WITH INITIALS
GLASS CONTAINER WITH STERLING SILVER LID
STERLING SILVER ITEM I CANNOT IDENTIFY
SQUARE GLASS CONTAINER WITH STERLING SILVER LID HIGHLY DECORATED
ROUND GLASS POWDER DISH WITH STERLING SILVER LID INITIALED
TWO HIGHLY DECORATED IVORY CUT THROAT RAZORS. THERE IS A SPACE IN BETWEEN THE 2 RAZORS THAT IS EMPTY
UNDERNEATH THIS IS A MANICURE SET.
SCISSORS HAVE SHEFIELD ON IT. ANOTHER ITEM WHICH I CANNOT DISTINGUISH IS STERLING, TWEEZERS AND NAIL CLEANER
LONG GLASS DISH WITH ELABORATE STERLING SILVER LID.
THE BOX IS WOOD WITH BRASS AROUND THE EDGES AND A TYPE OF BRASS CREST IN THE CENTRE. BRASS ON THE SIDES.
THE INSIDE IS BLUE CRUSHED VELVET.
THERE LOOKS TO BE A ROUND WATERMARK WHERE SOMEONE HAS SAT A CUP ON THE TOP. I AM SURE THIS CAN BE REPAIRED.

wow, that's quite a find.

Are you bidding on this ?

It's on a local trading site, I've bid $300 but not reached reserve yet.

I wish you the best of luck.
Hope your new job pays well

I think this will go for about $NZ1,000 = $US650 ish.

My bid is now $NZ900 and still no reserve met.

wow...I think those photos actually made me sexually excited

Wow, the pics show something that I'd expect to see in a museum. That's a really sweet set.
JL: TMI!!!
