Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

Just received an huge travel chest, from the Ist empire period, in wich I was able to put all my razors and writting stuffs (it's reaaally huge).







Also got some restorations of strops, that'll be coming back soon,







And some ivory badgers and custom razors.

Very Nice,Ivory Badgers?????????????? I want to see them

Couple bottles of Dominica Bay Rum Lime, and some acrylic turning blanks called Area 51

I received my scruple works strop, on Thursday, it is a work of art. This is real craftsmanship and worth the 6 week wait.

A Marshall 3 cross slide for my Derbyshire watchmakers lathe which will complete it.

Thanks pixel. I got this one because it is in very nice shape. You can see it here:







Here's another one like it & I'm watching it to see what it goes for & I'd be willing to bet it goes for around the same amount I paid or maybe a little less but I'm one that goes for quality more than anything in worse shape. it might even go for more than what I paid:

Oh when it gets here you can rest assured, I will take it apart & do as you said. When I get my Logan over here, I will do the same thing. If I remember right, it has a triple compound cross slide on it too. Tanks again pixel!

Very Nice)))

Thanks. It looks to be in almost unused condition or very well taken care of. If you look at the one in the link I sent, i bet it ges for around the same price & might even go for more than what I paid for this one. This same one sold a couple weeks ago for $535 but there was an address issue & the w=seller just said forget it & resisted it & it went for way less but I was expecting it to go for quite a bit but to my surprise, my snipe nailed it! I'm going to see what that other one goes for just for grins. It is identical to this one, it is a Marshall too but tight now it is still under $200 but it will get higher. I have been watching them for awhile & they don't go for little money. One did go for under $300 a couple weeks ago & it has a broken part on it which I could have made but it slipped through my fingers & I missed the end of the auction but things like that tend to be more of a problem. It might have had more issues than just a broken plw=ate that I could have made & frilled three holes in it, one for the screw shaft & the two that hold the plate on but like I said, it might have had more wrong with it. If it had a broken piece on it, it was to taken care of properly. I remember when I always used my Logan I have coming, I used to always wipe it down & oil it!

All watchmaker lathe stuff has gone off the wall,a Levin slide will cost you a grand,full set of Levin collets, 2 grand,is crazy.
