I went another round of antique stores and came across this Engleswerk that I thought would be worthy of mention.

I examined the blade with a magnifying glass, no nicks that I could see.

The handle was yellow, could have been bone, no cracks, no major rust in the pins. The blade, petina with just a few horizontal scratches from heel to toe.

But the handle, it was intricately designed, I noticed what looked like animals, a cross, a sunrise, it was a pretty piece.

THe seller wanted like 75 for it.

What do you think? Too much?


I don't want to make a habit of describing these razors to people here because theres no way to appraise one, but it was in much better condition than the one that I saw the other day the lady wanted 32 for.
