I just got this today. I won it on the bay. It comes from Zebediah Ingalls Homestead 1850's Estate from way back in the day. It is still in excellent condition with a beautiful smile on it. The round spot on the blade is glae or something reflecting off of it. It is shiny all the way on both sides. I love pieces of history like this!
A beautiful thing! Enjoy! :beer1:
Thank you very much!Quote:

Swoop!
Very unique, which makes me jealous. It's curves reminds me of a voluptuous woman. Nice score!
I see what ya mean but it looks like it's original.Quote:

That is a very nice score you made! Just looks like it'll be a smooth shaver...
At first the seller had it on eBay for $259.95 BIN or best offer but then he ended it & I found where he was auctioning it off. I scored it for under $100. Thank RezDog!Quote:

Swayback, Smiley, 7/8", and really cool :tu....Beautiful blade Sir !!
Old Zebediah would be happy to know it's going to you :)
Very cool. Enjoy!
That is one of the nicest blades I have seen dating that far back. Congratulations
If it in came with the stropper and the drawer, you got a wondrous find!

The sellers name is joecrow on eBay & he runs across some cool things sometimes but when he first listed this, he put $259.95 BIN or make offer but it never sold & he removed the listing but then I saw he had it up on auction & I won it for under $100.
I believe that the sheet metal case originally had a layer of very fine glove leather on it and the years have removed it. I have found two that were leather covered. Mine have it folded over the end and glued tightly against the metal and tacked into the wood paddle and taped at the drawer end and along the tack line.Quote:

I found it! It has an instruction label on top which is barely legible. It is on hard cardboard like a coffin box. The main part is metal & I pulled on it & it came out. The strop is on it. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. I do have one 2 razor storage box made of wood that doesn't have a strop on it at all but it is old like at least from the 1800's. Thanks Richard. :rock:Quote:
