New Finds
Took a day off yesterday and my wife and I hit 4 local antique stores. Nothing in any of them.
Today, I started the day off grumpy for unrelated reasons and she decided to better my mood by going to a shop in the next town over. It worked.
I found 4 straights worth getting and 2 of those were nice old Sheffields.
I have to apologize for the pic quality, my light box is packed away.

The scales are intriguing on this, the Don Works is upside down to what we would expect on scales and is highly detailed. My first thought is that these are pressed horn. If so, it is in amazing condition.

Nice day of shopping. Apparently you have your town cleaned out.

Great finds! I am always a sucker for the old Sheffield razors, especially FBUs but also any regal marked.
