Thread: Lot just arrived

Wade &Butcher rattler 7/8 at its widest scales are thrashed.

Cattagarius our best, has a few issues but should clean up nice. Love the spine marks.

Joseph Allen &Sons wedge needs some work lots of rust and character.

Finally a shoulderless from St. Paul can't remember exactly the maker needs a good cleaning.
All in all lots of work ahead but should be some good blades in the end. The rattler is the prize in the bunch IMO. Thanks for looking

Nice score on the W&B rattler, don't see many of them!

I love that spine, Nice score,Ty

Thanks guys. The rattler is going to be traditional when done.
Addison the spine is neat didn't even see it in the eBay pics!

I didnt either, I seen you post the other day that you had won so i was hopin to catch the update,, Very Nice Score, Ty

Nice!! That W&B just kicked me right in the RADs.

That WB looks just like the first one I did in the rattler redskins.
Should be a beauty when done. Great shavers.
Congrats brother! Nice lot.

Well that rattler is very nice but the Cattaraugus is very cool as well, double hollow patented by no other then George Korn.

Thanks for posting George Korn's patent, Martin! I have a bellied hollow Thistle that obviously needs a Double Hollow to keep her company. I will have to keep my eyes peeled for one. I absolutely love the complexity and skill involved in grinding a hollow blade in this fashion.

Thanks Mike I cant wait to get started on one of these Martin as always thanks for sharing a bit of information. Always love the history, anyone care to venture a guess with age of the Rattler? I am not terribly familiar with these as it is my first one, I would guess 1860?

Also Martin when I get home I am going to have to check this hollow grind Catt, out because now I am intrigued. I just looked at the pics and it is a different hollow grind than all my others. Very interesting
