    Default Today's pick at the annual antique market

    Good day Gents
    this is what I got today for my 75 euros at the annual antiques market in my hometown of Bruges Belgium...

    one canvas pouch containing a couple of razors
    joseph rodgers sheffield , montagu a gand , berg eskilstuna , taylor witness sheffield , goedecke special - no good - wastebin , frederick reynolds 'the prince's own' sheffield ...
    seller asked 15 euro , I am I good man , I did not haggle ...

    4 natural honing stones (one is a coti , rest don't know will ask advice to you guys later) price is on the stones ... the old lady made me a special price of 20 for all 4... I did not
    haggle , I'm a good man ... (I took the finest grits - she had a lot more)

    art deco vaporiser for my Proraso and Floid 300 mil aftershave bottles - 10 euro - I'm a good man I did not haggle

    one mahogany/ebony box for part of my razors 15 euro - no haggling again

    original wooden stock for my 1938 mauser K98 - 15 euro (part on top is missing though) did not haggle

    I am quite satisfied with the outcomeName:  IMG_1514.jpg
