Thread: A nice day at the Antiques Fair

Looks terrific, nice find! I don't see any hone wear, or maybe just minimal. It's been slim pickin's for me lately, winters are usually like that here. How has that coticule from further back in this thread (October) been for you?

With a vacation and a daughter's wedding, I have been too busy to do much honing. I hope to have a session this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.

It's been a while since I've been able to do much searching in the wild. I managed to drop into a few shops in Northern California this week and picked these up. I think they will all clean up well.

Nice finds, Mrchick, what have you got there as far as brands? It been forever since I was out hunting too. The season has a lot to do with that, when warmer weather comes it's really "game on" around here.. dealers, sellers, pickers, collectors and hoarders come out of hibernation HUNGRY it seems.

Your on a roll, B.
What's the one in the bottom, with the sweet looking patina.
I keep zooming in on the pick, and they all got some neat scales too.
Enjoy brother, you got some nice brands there.

Top to bottom looks like Two Bokers, a Henckels, I forgot the fourth,oh a Wadsworth, and can't tell on the last.

The Henckels looks like the only one with much wear and the wear on that one looks even from here. They also look like they are in pretty reasonable condition all around. Nice haul.

That's what I saw too.
But I really want to know what the bottom one is, the Patina looks great.!
But that's only that side.

I'm on the road so I'm going from memory. This is what I remember top to bottom.
William Greaves and Sons Sheaf Works Sheffield. I believe these very thin scales are ivory but haven't had time to check.
Wester Brothers Anchor Brand "Manganese Steel" that appears to have bone scales.
J. A. Henckels Twin Works 113
Wadsworth Razor Company XLNT
Koken Army and Navy
Thank you for all he nice comments. I'm happy with all of these razors.

They all appear to have collars so I am guessing bone, but that could all change if I had them in hand. It is super hard to judge them in pictures. Whatever the bottom one is, I am totally with mike and think that the patina is beautiful and even. My though on that one is wax it and hone it, unless of course there is bad stuff that we cannot see.
