Brimfield Razors-- How did I do?
Went to Brimfield (huge flea market/antique fair... a whole town shuts down for it) yesterday with $40 in my pocket.
Heres what I got:
Genco Red Cross -- White Ivoriod Scales, 5/8 - Spike point, has red cross in silver on the scales
Imperial Blade etched with "The Improved Eagle Razor. looks like 6/8 Spike point. Black scales
Costa and Sons, Boston, MA. 5/8 Round Point -- Yellow Ivoroid Scales Back of the tang says "H.M. Christensen, Brockton, Mass"
Diamontine #17 6/8 Round Point. Broken scales (I am making some cherry burl ones for this) Back of tang reads " M. E. Reppenhagen Germany"
I spent $30 on the 4 razors, had lunch of fair french fries and a Felafel, and a lemonaide. I had enough money for tolls ($2.00) leftover when I saw the Goldbug with Orange Celluloid scales and the guy wanted $10 for it.. Oh well.. had to stick to my budget.
So... Did I do Okay?
They all meed some cleaning, but Thats probably the next step for me anyway....
Thanks in advance, ad
