Thanks. I look forewarn to figuring mine out.

Visited one of my regular antiques stores today and one of the owners was speaking with a couple gentlemen. She introduced us and explained they were dealers who just brought in some furniture. She said, "Tell them what you collect." So I told them and one of the guys says real casually, "You mean the old straight razor type? (while motioning a shaving motion near his face) I have a bunch somewhere, real early ones, nice ones. I guess I've had that box of razors put away for 30 years now, I just need to find it. It's buried somewhere, I have a lot of stuff to go through." Man would I like to see that if he ever finds it! I left my number with them... we'll see.

You're not the only one, Garrison.

Same thing happened to me. The guy called me back and I bought all of this last Saturday.
Along with the Curley and Torrey I posted earlier. I kind of went overboard.

He didn't go by the name "Geezer" by any chance...

Thank you!

Be interested to see the Norton razor hone, you may have hit the jackpot!

Keep what you like and sell the rest to fund further shopping adventures.


REALLY nice find!!!

I know valuations are off limits but I'd have paid a grand or upwards and still considered them a bargain, especially considering that little item in the box in the 4th frame
