Thread: A nice day at the Antiques Fair

This display looked promising.

Giesen and Forsthoff Adoration, F.W. Engels Special, S. R. Droescher Gold Bug
Salamander, Genco Wedge, Wade and Butcher “The Clean Shaver”
The bevel needs some work, but it’s in nice shape.
The pipe rack will hold 24 straights.
I’m going to pass on the Antiques Fair tomorrow. I think I have enough for the weekend[emoji12]

AGAIN.!!
Damn, Brian. Your on a roll this year.!!
Might as well roll the dice one more time at the antique fair, the way your luck has been. Can't hurt.!!

And what about the Happy Meal box?

Come on, tell me you got it

First: what does "ODH boxes" mean?.

Second: DID YOU SNATCH UP THAT ROLLS RAZOR?!?!? (Assuming it was in decent shape...)

I'm sorry, ODH is Otto Deutsch Hans. They are sweet razors and the boxes caught my attention.

The Rolls had a broken hone. And every shop had at least one. There was a Darwin SE in one of the shops in good condition, but I already have one.

Another shop got me all excited when I saw this in the case labeled as a barbers set of six razors for $65.

They turned out to be six different makers and only one decent blade. I hate it when they get my hopes up[emoji1]

Thanks. I could change my mind in the morning[emoji1]

Brian, I have had a few of the SRD straights and they were all amazing razors. I think I still have three of them. I did share a couple of them too. I think they are the most underspoken razor from days gone by. Quite the haul AGAIN.

Oh well, I'd have got it just to have it. I bet it's older than Mike

Wait, that's not that old............
