    Smile Old, Old Bismark and Art Deco Brush

    The Antique Store was kind to me this week.
    the Bismark had a few minor rust spots on the spine and tang but nothing major. The brush is bakelite and as perfect as you can imagine.

    Razor was $ 20. Brush was $ 35. I agree. I don't think the brush was used at all!

    Congratulations!
    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    Nice catch and a I LOVE THE WAY THAT BRUSH DEFIES GRAVITY!!!

    Beautiful razor!

    I pawed through a pile of close to 60 razors today that I wouldn't have given $20 for the whole pile.

    I did hit a home run on three knives though.

    Kind he says. .....Man...the stores around here in D-town have been picked clean. It's amazing the asking price some dealers here want for unusable specimens. You got an excellent catch and love the unique style of brush holder. +1 !

    Very nice razor & brush Steve. I almost bought a brush just like that on eBay this week. I have it saved! I think it was a Fuller brush.
