    Default Rare photo

    A friend of mine from Knoxville found this photo in an estate sale of a well known Knoxville photographer, and gave it to me this weekend. The store display is obviously early 20th century, but is undated. I could have saved it for nearer to Christmas, but couldn't wait....

    If it wasn't for backlog, I'd have no log at all...

    If only I had a time machine, I’d go back and scoop the entire window display.

    I guess its the history teacher in me, but I like the idea that one of us may be shaving with one of those blades this week.

    Great photo. It's a real piece of history.

    Looks like the high price on a Rubberset brush is $2.00. Wow!

    Those were the days..

    Didn’t know Santa Claus lived in a cutlery shop.

    Awesome present, btw. Always nice to be thought of.

    I wonder if we could guess the date? rubber set brushes .60 cents to $2.00. Hmmm a brush like that today would be about $25.00? 1940s?
