Thread: Flea Market SCORE!!!

I was just at the Oshawa Flea Market on Taunton Rd and found these two Razors. #1: a "Infallible" J.Curley & Brother in its original box. #2 a "Our Own" H.Boker & Co also in a Boker Box. I Payed $20 for each of them.

Good Find, nice razors.

Very nice. Congrats on the nice find.

so from what i can tell the J.Curley & Brother would date between 1864-1921. This is a huge Gap that this razor could have been made. Anyone have more info about this razor? It does have the street address marked on the tang 134 &136 Nassau st New York.

Really nice score you never know what you are going to find at flea markets

good one show some pictures of the finished product,

Ive been trying to find more info on this razor and came across a old add in the American Agriculturist, Volume 38.

Cleaned up the razor. Made some new scales. Honed it up and im going to give her a test run tonight.

Cleaned up the razor. Change the scales from the plain blace to this. Honed up to be one of my better shavers.

Great period choice. Nicely done.
