I saw that one - or another just like it in a lot of 3 on E-Bay that I wanted badly. I don't software snipe, but I do "hand snipe" so to speak, and I wasn't near a computer when it ended.
Drats.

The lot went for a fairly low price IIRC.

I was thinking about this and doubting myself so I looked and they are definately ivory. If you look REALLY close you can see the irregular grain in them. I am impressed too since they don't seem to be the usual sliver with pins. I am dying to complete the set and then I am keeping it. I've really wanted a 7 day set.

Chris, keep me in mind if you come across any sheffield wedges. I like the feel of those wedges...smooth...

Chris, any chance of selling those aluminum scales? Also, I've got my eye on a razor in particular if you are selling any. Wonder what the price would be though. I'd be very curious but afraid to ask how much this lot set you back?

By the way, add me to your email list, I'll PM you my email.

OK so I still have to go through and go one for SRP and two for me. One for SRP and two for me. But some will be available. I am heading back on saturday so if you want me to keep an eyeout for something like sheffield wedges I can do that.


And no I won't tell you what it cost me. I went for the rare and unusual ones even if I had to do alot of work on them. Now I am going for the better condition ones.
