Picked up a 9/8th Wade and Butcher FBU, a Double Duck special number one, a 5/8ths Torrey, a couple of brushes and a barbicide jar. Not in the best of shape but the price was right.

Nice haul! Now that's how to have a good time at an antiques show!
Also grabbed the knife under the razors I forget what its called. The scales on the Wade Butcher are up for grabs if anyone wants them. The guy didn't believe that they were not the original scales for that razor. Lol.
What make is the Sheffield FBU? Looks like it's in great shape.
The knife is a mezzaluna. Nice finds.Quote:

Yes its a FBU. It needs the heel reshaped but no major pitting. Took it to the wheels already. Thanks.Quote:

Thats what makes it fun you never know you will find. I was out yesterday and found the Duck. It has a lot of hone wear but for $10, it will be a good shaver. I am always looking for 2 items. The 1 inch plus razor and an Escher.Quote:

What an AWESOME score in the wild!!!!
You don't find razors like that too often.
:chapeau
When I saw it in those crude wooden scales I didn't know what it was. I was surprised when I opened it and saw this razor. He wanted way to much for it. I made an offer and walked away. Went back before I left made another offer, haggled a little bit and here it is. So far my best find in the wild. I hope there are more to come. Thanks.Quote:
