George Savage & Sons XX and an old Taylor
Did some trading this week.
8/8 George Savage and Sons Masonic etch
It's been neglected but the edge is strong. Got a set of period scales to fix what ails it. Doubt I'll do much more than a honing and a re-scale with all period stuff.
The other is a nice older 7/8 Taylor "eye witness". Oldest one I've seen. Got a few newer that are full hollows, this puppy pre-dates them a bit I'd say. Heavy old bird it is. I LIKE IT!
Blade still has the original "glaze" finish. Been used and honed but not a lot from the looks of it.
These two came out of a shoe box found in an old barber shop in Utah. The box also had two 6/8 NORTHFIELD's and a 7/8 Northfield in it. I didn't get a chance at those. :/
Oh well, I'm happy with these.

You scored big time there buddy. Got me drooling. You know a man can only eat so much Duck and then he starts looking for other meat :<0)
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Oh ho ho ho! YES!
Stupendous score!
If you want, I'll happily fix up the scales to that Savage. Those are salvageable!RezDog likes this.-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.

I have fixed old scales like that too, especially in that part of the razor. Could hardly tell they were fixed.

The end is gone at the pivot tho and so that side would be unusable.
