This weeks flee market find.
Nothing really special One is from a Rhode Island company but made in England with the HOPE on the tang. Being from RI I thought it was cool.
The other is Yankee Cutlery.Co 910 Germany. It has quite a bit of hone wear. but the scales will fit another razor I have perfectly.
The box thy were in is just a cigar box but it won't go to waste. I'm thinking flannel inserts to hold a double set if I come across two identical razors.

The hunt is the best part. Sometimes you find a gem, other times it could be a treasure box.
Like this group I'd picked up for a mere $150.00

Was that find from a flea market Mike or the flea bay? I was watching a lot sort of like it.

I think that was an antique store he has built a relationship with.
I have something similar in a neighboring town. Sometimes there are some incredible finds, like a translucent Pike I found in a half box. Hone was almost perfect, I gifted it to a friend who needed a finisher.

Actually a antique store. They got me on file, there. If something comes in, they give me a call. Originally Posted by PaulFLUS

Since you are in FL I'll tell you my secret: go to gun shows. Even if you don't like guns.
The guys selling knives and camping gear... especially knives... often have a few razors & accessories in a box somewhere. I've gotten some pretty razors for almost nothing by sriking up a conversation.
I wouldn't let out my secret but I have enough and no one to leave them to.
