Thread: J.B. Varick Co. hardware store razor and other stuff

Got out and about this weekend visiting several antiques stores and garage sales. Finally it was one of the flea markets that resulted in a few items. I found a razor anonymously made in Sheffield for J.B. Varick Co. in Manchester, NH. It has old homemade wooden replacement scales. I was excited to find this razor because I have no other razors that have anything to do with New Hampshire. Info about the business can be found here John B. Varick Co. — New England’s Largest Hardware Business in 1915 | Cow Hampshire
Also found was a little vintage Heller hammer that I will be tapping against razor pins in the near future, a Franz Swaty hone and the kind fellow threw in a couple safety razor hones.

Nice finds.!!
Looks like you had one of my days, at the flea market.
I can almost bet , that razor is going to impress you with how it shaves.
