Auction score, two Eschers!

I just wanted to post some photos of two Eschers I picked up at an auction of an old barber shop over the weekend. Thankfully, no one else saw what I saw hiding in the bottom of that cigar box. I knew what the one in the wooden box was from its label, but hadn't noticed the end label on the other one. Thankfully no one else noticed either. The box also had a Pike SWATY and a nice pair of barber shears, but these babies were my real score.

As you can see, I haven't done a thing to them. Not cleaned up, not lapped, just as I found them.

What can I say after I say WOW ! :beer1:

You lucky B... :)
Congrats of the lovely find!

I'll give you 20 bucks for the pair. :deal:
and cause I'm nice, I'll even cover shipping!

Keep one! There's always time to learn. Oh, and give me the other ;) lol.

Congrats! Don't know what you gave for them, but they are a nice score!

ugh. is it wrong for me to be a huge green jealous monster right now :(
a big congrats to you!

I fear I will never hold one of those....Lucky SOB!!! amazing score :)

I refuse to get sucked into that abyssmal expedition of hope and failure again. lol. I will no longer search out wonderful stones at wonderful prices. After 8 months of dedicated searching, I've spent enough to buy one on ebay. But, congrats....begrudgingly. lol.

Holy crap. and..... grrrrrrrrr

The yellow/green cleaned up very nicely with minimal effort.

That Ol Barber knew his stuff! Congraulations, thanks for sharing. OOOOhhhhhh the Escher sharks are swimming in my head!

I would certainly think they would since they were readilly available in barber shop supplies catalogs!
