Thread: Estate Find

Thank you! It is "Pradat Brun" and after doing a search it is French.

It clearly says Pradat-Brun. It's a well-celebrated brand from France, manufactured in the town of Thiers. (Yes, also home to Thiers-Issard.)

Rescaled, that could be a lovely razor. As there are definitely collectors out there who search out that brand specifically, I'd advise you to list that one on its own rather than grouping it in a lot.

Hope this helps!

thank you for the info. Not know anything about razors I did not recognize the name but only that the quality stood out from the rest. I think I will take your advice and list it by itself in ebay.

I decided to list the lot on ebay in a few seperate auctions here is the link to the Pradat Brun if anyone is interested.

Nice find!!!! Its running a little dry around my parts.

Very nice lot you have there.

Seems you scored quite a lot of goodies. I miss mentioning of one: isn't that a nice vintage Thuringian beneath the brushes?

I just wanted to say that I updated the shipping rates on the group of 14 razors and the shaving group on ebay. I believe I can fit both into a small pritority flat rate box. 4.95 in US and 12.95 International. That should save some money.

thanks

Thanks for the extra pics! I can now see it isn't a Thuringian after all, but couldn't say what it is. The dark oily gloss of the front likens black Arkansas, the diagonal cutting marks are like those of Thuringians, the white spots remind of Turkey, and the greenish hue is unlike any hone I know...
