Thread: Some Antique store finds!

I had been to those antiques stores at least 20 time before!!
The Monopol had a small chip in the toe, the Sta-Sharp was perfect and very nearly NOS.
These are in my keeper stash for sure!! All for $24!!!

Congrats on finding a great deal. Ya never know what you'll find in antique shops, their inventory is constantly moving in and out of the store. I used to find deals like that in my area but lately the prices have gone up substantially and there are more people hunting them down in my area.

Very nice finds! It's good when you can find something locally. Because for example I would have to pay aprox. $10 just for shipping(((

Both were in stores that are overflowing in junk and the owners don't specialize in things like razors, I got pretty lucky. Always be on the lookout for brand new stores, I got really lucky with a new store a few weeks back also.

Keep looking, you'll find good ones. I bring a small flashlight and always ask the people at the store if they have seen any even if I don't find any, I've had them pull out a box full that wasn't on the floor yet.

@rodb: which stores? I'm in St. Paul and have been trolling through a bunch near me. I'm near downtown: Grandma's Attic, Wescott Station, 7th Heaven, Antique Mall (Smith & Annapolis). I've found some at Grandma's Attic. There was a $200 NOS Hess in there and there's currently a $75 Boker and $25 Sharpe (something like that). I've looked at the Boker twice now. It looks like it has both heavy and uneven hone wear (maybe even a slight start to a frown in one section), so I've passed.

Was just looking for more antique stores in the area via google and stumbled on this post. Since it's recent... I thought I'd ask!

Thanks!
