Thread: The Mailman had his hands quite full today ! (pic heavy)

Bonjour Messieurs,

The mailbox was quite full ! Between purchases on ebay and a french second-hand site, and a trade, here's today's haul :

Boker with wooden tank and celluloid scales :


Leresche "Gaillard" :


Those two are shot, mais their scales might be salvageable :



Johnson with pressed horn (broken, unfortunately) :

Malingre Staurenghi :



And now, the showstopper ! I found a listing with a VERY blurry picture, on wich I recognise the shape of the box, and some shiuny razors :




Let's open this bad boy :

Fat and oozing Radium :P :


And a C & J Morton - 39, Cheapside with ivory scales :



I have some work to do, but I'm quite happy !

Yes, I do think you will be happily busy for a while. Good eye in spotting that box too, very nice. Congrats.

Bob

I really like that box! Can I ask what the metal disc / dish is inside of it?

It's a small box, containing a little bit of brownish powder... So your guess is welcome !

Usually the box contains iron oxide for the paddle strop

Those scissors are lovely! Who made them?

Good question, I see a Barrel logo... that's it

John Petty!
