Please pass judgement on these antique finds: ERN and JR&Sons
Went out to another place today and found a couple that interested me. The shop lists them at $30ea, I think $15ea is what I would pay.
I would like to know what you all would pay for either of these and whether you think they're salvageable.
ERN: Has a rust spot on the spine but otherwise looks badly polished.

Joseph Rodgers & Sons "The Master Razor #2": has a larger spot of rust on the spine near the head. Edge needed a lot of honing (chips) and that brown rust looking stuff on the edge rubbed off with my fingernail.
