Thread: $30 at a Flea Market

So my girlfriend's dad went to a flea market this morning and came back to tell us that one booth had a ton of razors. So I immediately get ready and we go over there. It was a small thing held maybe once a month at the American Legion hall or something. Usually they have nothing good. Today, this one table had 21 razors! Maybe 3 Pakistani, 2 broken, and the rest were messed up somehow, but I picked up these 6. $30. Bargain. The W&B Frameback alone is well worth it (1/4" thick tang! angled spine, Hollow Ground etched in HUGE letters on the blade). The three on the left are decent enough. Three on the right I like. Top is an unmarked spanish point wedge with an angled spine. Looks much better than the photo shows. Then the W&B. Bottom is a Frederick Reynolds "The Celebrated" barber's notch. We'll see when I get around to restoring these... as if I didn't have about 15 other razors in line first!

Good grab. I hear ya about having enough to work
with for a while. I have a box of about ten that
are in different states for restoration, but I keep
going to ebay and picking up more. I definitely
need to hit an antique store soon. I'm sure there
are some good ones kicking around there.

Amazing, good catch. Rhode Islands not too far from Houston, is it? I dunno a hill of beans about restoration, but I have 20+ stacked up that need it myself.

Nice! I'll actually be in Houston in May. I'm a professional bassist and will be on tour. We hit Houston for 2 weeks.

Luvvit - successful bargain hunting can't be beat!

Nice!!!!!!!
