    Default I have got to brag!!!

    OK guys & gals, I've got to brag on this one. Battery ran down on the digital & batteries are charging, but here are a couple pics (I apologize in advance for the not so good photography):

    Tang reads:
    George Wostenholm & Son's
    Celebrated I-X-L Razor
    Washington Works
    Sheffield

    Blade reads:
    THE IXL BARBERS RAZOR
    2 INCH HOLLOW GROUND

    It's an 8/8 with original scales that I don't think that I will do anything with but hone...what do you think? Oh yeah, best part is what I gave for it...look at the price tag on the blade. That's right, $7.50 plus tax.

    Wow!

    Thats a great looking razor and a total bargain at the price! Good find!

    Are you going to restore it or just hone it up and go for it?

    I'll give double, nay, Triple!

    That's roughly what a GW&S in that condition is worth, right? Right?
