Glad someone on here got those. I was hoping no one else was paying attention but they went over what I was willing.

John Petty & Sons, Garden Street, Sheffield, made for retailer Chas Clements, London. Ivory scales and covered tangs. One of the razors has a piece missing from the pivot end of the scales. The sets's lovely all the razors are honed. One of the razors had a nick out of the edge I managed to hone this out. I think this damage was done by someone before forcing the case open with a screwdriver...
The lock doesn't need a key the little pin in the key hole slides to one side to unlatch the lock. Someone forced the case open I managed to re fasten the keep for the lock with longer screws (the originals were ripped out).Regards Brian

You'd be surprised how low they often sell for. You can pick up some really great 7 day sets for under $500

For that price id be on one. But i hate buying from ebay. People screw you any chance they get when you fork out good money. Small price tags dont hurt so bad. Ill have to start looking.

True story. I am often aghast as to how low they go for at times. I am close to starting the hunt for a changeable blade set. I try really hard to balance sale and purchases. Originally Posted by AntiqueHoosier
