The chinese characters are really hard to work out, their in Traditional form (not simplified which is used by most people today)
someone from Taiwan may have more luck translating it, although my mother who is professor of chinese studies at Monash University can only work out that the first character is dong as in East and the 3rd character maybe Xing for movement or company or something like that.
really nice find,
I was actually in the Op-shop the other day and I asked if they had any straight razors or antique barbershop related stuff, they didn't unfortunately but an old lady came and talked to me as I was leaving and asked what it is that I collect so I told her and she said that her father was a barber and she probably has a bunch of stuff lying around somewhere and told me to give her my phone number and whenever she stumbles across some things she'll give me a call!
I hope to find some really nice hones and razors and maybe even a vintage strop in nice condition, but we'll see what happens eh
Oh wow you two lucky dawgs!!!!! Jealousy has sunk into Harry!!!! So many nice sheffields in one lot!!!! Congrats on the amazing score boys!!!
wow! that is an amazing find!!!
I was speaking with an older gentleman the other week at the old blacksmith shop in the town I work in, (old heritage listed place run by volunteers), and he said I should put an add up somewhere for the same kind of effect. He also said that there is a man who collects razors about half an hour away from me who also has literally hundreds of razors in his collection and that I should go have a look. UNFORTUNATELY he also said that the man in question would not part with any of them, no matter what :(
still tempted to see if I could be persuasive enough for some...
Congrats again! they are some nice looking razors!
Nick.
Great find Jeremy!
