Thread: A couple acquisition's

Out running around today. Stopped at a few antique shops, and a trip to Imperial Shave, for some shave soaps, and some cologne.
But here's the finds from the antique shops.

1st. Vintage old spice mug, with a puck of vintage Williams mug in it, and a Ever- Ready brush.

2nd. A Curleys, safety razor.
And a autostrop, valley safety razor.

Can some one tell me what blade the autostrop use.
And is the blade in the curley, removable.

Thanks
Mike

Nice snag Mike! I really like the old spice mug. I have one in my collection. Can't help you with the blades, sorry!!

Nice finds! A quick stop at the antique stores pays off once again! It looks like the Curley blade ought to come out, doesn't it?

Nice find!

I have a brush like that. It is great with Tabac or Czeck&Speake.

Great score!

Looks like the auto strop would use a typical gem single edge from its shape Mike. Maybe post some opened up shots when you can.
And the guard should come off the Curley, not sure about the blade itself from the pics.

Great scores man, love the old old spice mug as well.

Nice finds. You'd have to do a web search but I vaguely recall reading somewhere that a GEM blade could be used if you removed the spine(?), doubled over end piece. Oth I could be entirely wrong.

That early safety razor's a good catch! I've never seen them in the wild myself.

This may help you with blades for that auto strop.

Cool find! The Curley razor does in fact comes apart, there is different versions of this razor but i think the tail is on a hinge releasing the blade and guard.


Here the original patent picture and description.



Here some history about the company.
