Bought it all.

A little birdie (SPY) gave me a tip on a estate sale going on this weekend, she said there were some goodies she'd put back for me to see first. If I didn't want it..on to the table it goes. I left nothing behind.

Nice barber hone.

Nice!!!

I need to get me a spy, too.

What a great haul. I am super curious about the 14 in aluminum. The rest is nice.

Way to go! Makes my day to see a haul like that. Seems like it's been forever since the "summer pickin' days" and forever to go, too. Nice to see you finding some stuff in the winter months. Looks like a nice hone and there's an old Williams puck there, too. Cool stuff all around, congrats!

Couldn't have gone to a better recipient,, aside from myself of course..;)
Congrats Mike. Nice haul. That universal looks cool. Wonder what condition the replacement blades are in.
Enjoy.

Looks like a great grouping of stuff.
Now I know how you do it....a spy!
It would take me a blue moon around here to come up with so much. Most everything I find in the antique shops is junk.
Enjoy the fruits of your espionage!

Me too!!
She's one thick spined, beast.
Doesn't close in the scales very well, the third pin is too short, and binds on the tang.

Little story on that one.

While adding up the prices for all, a guy walks up to the table and starts eyeing up my goods. I tell him its mine already, that I'm buying it all. Asks to see the 14, picks it up and walks off with it.
( OH, HELL NO..!!!). Someone gonna need a ambulance....[emoji35]
Cool part was he went to the lady running the show.. My SPY. And gave her the razor to hold....for ME..! Harr.!!!
She looked at me after he walked away, and I motioned her over, and explained what he did. I made sure he seen it in my possession before I left.[emoji41]

Excellent score Mike. I like the mirror!

Pretty good, a few are like new, the others have a little rust here n there, but not on the edges. Should be able to hone and strop them from what I see.

I've got spy's everywhere, they call me when they come across the goods, and I can usually get first crack at um before they go out on the floor. This spy is my gold, egg laying, goose. She's an estate luquidator. The others hang out around antique shops, n such.

Nice haul! Ain't spies wonderful! Nice twist of the schmuck's nether regions.
Cheers!

The brush Mike.......zero in on the brush. :)

You are one lucky guy Mike, nice haul! got to get me a "Birdie" !

Great haul! I had several pickers getting stuff for me in Minn. I would always get first chance on their finds.

I would be a bit careful with that EverReady Boar. Those bristles look like they may have mold or bacteria. JMO.

Interesting strop, the stamp especially. The style is not modern Russian, so my guess is it is pretty vintage from before or around the WW2 may be?

Cool pile. outback. Someone posted a Eugenio Hoppe a while back. Says that was Guillermo Hoppe's dad.
Plenty old.
That hard rubber and bone brush is a rare gem, I think.

Nice work!

Both brushes are nice but the one that caught my eye was the Made Rite. Makes me wonder why every time I find a vintage brush the thing looks like it came out of an Egyptian tomb with a full blown case of green mung.

Oh..it took some scrubbin.
Had old dried soap stuck in the grooves of the handle, and deep in the bristles.
But I had to have it, its a match to the Ever-Ready I picked up awhile ago. [emoji6]

That's exactly why it caught my attention Mike. It's a mate to my Ever-Ready.

Listing is early 1920's on that one.
When I seen it, all I could think of was you telling me I should do pairs.
It'll be the ugly sister to the Wostalumiholm. Har..!!
Guess I better get working on these two day boxes I've got..huh! [emoji57]

Yep, it needed nothing, still nice and supple, abide a few nicks.
And quite thick too.

Hair is rotting away.
