    Default Wild caught Escher!

    After a rather disappointing (as far as antique store finds) last couple of weeks traveling round trip of 2500 miles to Alabama and Florida I Had a chance to visit one of my favorite antique stores and make up for months of nothing exciting. Scored this nice Escher and no name 7/8s razor for a mere $27.00! When i saw it my heart nearly jumped out of my chest and my hands started to shake. The store owner was busy with another customer and I stood there with one eye on the display case and the other shooting daggers at the customer trying to hurry them up!

    Good God Vern...what a tremendous find.
    Watch out for blue lights in the rearview mirror, you out and out stole them.
    Congratulations and enjoy!
