Thread: Wednesday was a good day

Went to the Jockey lot(flea market) yesterday and found a older lady selling a W&B and a big wosty. Her price was dirt cheap $15 bucks for both and I had 2 dollars on me. We discussed the razors that were her husbands who passed a few years back and other casual coversation. She said these were her husbands favorites. I explained that I wanted to go to the bank and come back. I also let her know she was selling them too cheap. She said she would sell them to me for her price for helping her with pricing and info.

When I got back, she was gone. That is the way it goes.

Later in the day, she gave me a call and said she still had them for me. I hauled butt to her home. We talked for a good while and she told me she had put them away for me. She left the room and came out with the razors, two pencil brushes and a mug. I asked her how much for everything and she handed them to me. She then explained her husband would have rather have them go to a good home rather than be sold. I tried to pay, but she would not take my money. Not wanting to offend her, I accepted the items and Thanked her very much. The razor are in great shape


The interesting thing on the Wosty is the registration is different from all the others I have seen and read about. Scales are bone.



Scales are horn. The pictures cannot show the great condition they are in. Had to use my phone.



So, yesterday was a good day

Gentlemen kindly keep all talk of sales here to private message. Thank you.

Very nice score, you did exceptionally well!

I love stories like this. People being good people and good things happening. Everyone wins and feels good.

Great story... you need to do right by those razors.

Cool score.

Go back to her house one day this summer and mow her lawn, if she has one.

Been thinking of what I can do for her. I am sure she needs some home repair/maintenance. I am a one man contractor, so this is what I do all the time. Anything but roofs. I hate doing roofing.

The more I look at the W&B, I have decided to keep both of them. I do not want to break the set.

Good choice! I'm truly glad you're keeping it as it is kinda sentimental................the story the woman gave you & how she didn't charge you a dime for them. If they were given to me, I'd keep 'em too!!!
