Thanked: 480Why so many?
People always ask me that. "Why do you have SO many razors Magpie?" Because everytime I see one I want, it has to be purchased with a bunch of other ones I DONT want! And this is also where being observant and willing to gamble comes in. This is the Ebay photo....
Not much to work with, right?
I'm sure now that your looking close, you can see what I thought I saw too!
This is how it looked when it came out of its original box....
and here is what was revealed by a simple rub down with some "Mothers" polish....

Thanked: 480I'm normally reluctant to remove original pins, but I may opt to go that way for this one. There is a bit of rust at the pivot, and this one deserves a proper restore.

Thanked: 4829Hmmm. Wasn't there some other potential razors in that bunch. I realize that one is a rather large prize but it seems there was some with smaller potential in there too. Let's see the rest of the pot.

Thanked: 4829I think if you showed them as found to start and then updated as they started to shine it would make us all smile.

Thanked: 237I'm so jealous. I tend to look for these needle in a haystack lots as well, but that is just ridiculous...
