Thread: Some antiques store finds...

My wife and I went antiquing some time back, and I picked up four str8s which I thought looked in pretty good shape. If you have an info on them, let me know.
The first one is a Kron Punkt 36 with black scales. I think it has a un-used blade, at least I don't see any honing marks.
The second one is an Imperial with tortoise scales, also pretty good looking.
The Boker's scales are looking a bit used, and the blade is a bit darker than the others.
The last one is a Prima Soligen, it is the "Saturday" razor of a 7-day set, and the day is engraved on the spine, and has "Soligen" embossed on the scales.

You picked up some really nice razors. Even the ones with a patina can be polished to look almost new.

Great finds!

I've got a Prima like yours and they are phenomenal shavers. That Boker won't disappoint either.

Love that Boker!

I can't tell decisively from the photo, but I think the scales are hard rubber, in which case there is a way to get them back to jet black...the thread is on here somewhere, but I don't have it offhand. Give them a hard rub and you should be able to tell by the smell if they're actually rubber.

Every one is nice, all will clean up no problem or just hone them up and use them as is nice finds every one of them congrats

I check on the scales tonight, maybe just buffing will bring the nice look back. You could be right with Ebonite, i.e. Hardrubber, as I have another Boker which has those scales, just with some ornamentation.

Nice finds! All should make great shavers. A little Maas on that Boker or maybe some buffing and it will be a looker.

Aren't antique shop finds just GREAT!!

Nice haul!

I really really like that Boker, that looks SWEEEEET!

What a terrible thing to say to a razor!!! Some of us like to see a razor in it's true colors and without a facelift...heck, they are OLD razors
