    Default 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

    Cool score.

    Go back to her house one day this summer and mow her lawn, if she has one.
    It's a dog eat dog world and I have on milk bone underwear.
