I don't know though.... from my vantage point, I think the W&B is bone.

Nope... Its Ivory!!!
Got a few bone sets, and these aren't. Thinner than my bone scales too.

Bone on left, Ivory on right.

Notice the grain marks in the bone on the left.

And color variation

Don't think the scales are right Tom[emoji1]
The U.S. PAT. OFF.
and black scale on the other side,
might have tipped me off.
But HEY....its a brand new Heckels.
Never honed, with some light rust.
And only $20

Wow! Now that was a sweet haul, you pretty much hit a motherlode of primo straights, that chopper looks superb, and it looks like it's almost a Spanish point, or a spike that's been muted, but either way, that's the shape I prefer 'em, never been a big fan of the barber's notch for some reason - great score all round!

Seems you have bone and bone, from what I see. Back side of Emperors are plain. Wanna see some Emperors?

Wow that's an amazing haul

I like that Higgins!

Nice haul for a deserving restorer Mike.
All look very nice. Going to enjoy watching the rebuilds.

If I went on a razor hunt here in WA trying to find a score like that they'd find my dried husk some weeks later lying at the side of the road to Nowhere, the fingers of one hand curled into an eternal arthritic crescent. Evidence that I spent my final moments on this Earth clutching at straws.

Great score!
See everybody..... Good old vintage straight razors are still out in the wild....... But if he keeps going out, soon they all will be gone........ lol

Enjoy those blades! Very, very nice!

I've never seen bone ,thats smooth, without a wood grain look, and as shiny as this. Cause it looks just like the broken Ivory scales I took off my Erik Antonberg. Here's another pic. Two bone scaled razzers, one on each side of the W&B.
