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!

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 ! Originally Posted by SteveTheCanuck

I've already succumbed to a generous offer on the brush. It's going to a good home.

Cool, my farther had that brush until my mother threw it out and bought him a nice NEW one, NEW being a chinese plastic thing that fell to bits after two shaves. I'm sure I could hear his brain pop when she told him. Mothers eh, but gee we love them.
