Thanked: 4Should i buy?
ok, guys, you will know what i am looking at
i just visited an antique shop in my city that has been closed all winter and therefore i havent looked it up yet
anyways, i went there today and found three razors that i have on hold until tomorrow
i was wondering if i should pick them up for sure or not
anyways, here they are
the first has written on the tang: Suplee hardware co. and made in germany on it; etched into the blade is the word figaro, it has some silver (i think) inlay on one side of the scales
the second says "clear cut de luxe" (there is a space in the de luxe) etched into the blade
it is a covered tang (mother of pearl i think, or very close to it), the scales are broken some, but in a way that is even on both sides and you wouldn't notice unless you were looking for it
the last and third thing, is a rolls razor, still in box, (both the silver box it came in and another box around that), it seems to be in good condition
i talked him down to 18 for each straight and 25 for the rolls
is this worth it for me, or will i be getting ripped off?
with tax the total for the three is 61
what do yall think?
good deal or not?
ps: there is one that is covered in rust for 1$ that i am getting too for an experiment with CLR, i will let everone know how that goes
also, the shop has many more straights in it (i will probably prowl there every so often), including what i think is a W&B (i didnt get a good look at it) so if anyone lives around Bristol, TN/VA check out Antiques on Commonwealth
