    Uuuum....

    I did some hard looking at the Mother of Pearl, and etched in the pearl it reads... Boker. Other side, Germany. After looking at some pics on the Wiki, the scales look like the Bokers and judging by what is etched, I jsut scored a Boker Pearl for $10.

    Like that Boker Pearl! It should clean up and hone up into a great shaver. Is the MOP tang crack free on both sides? It is really pretty and highly desirable. The chips on the edge of your W&B, however, would be a major project to hone out, IMO. Could be do-able, though with lots of effort, and would end up being 6/8 or less in width. Super score on the Boker!

    Nice! I couldn't drag myself out this weekend to look. That W.B. will take a little work but It'll be a looker.

    Congrats on a great score!! I like them both. You will be happy with their shaves once you get them cleaned up and shave ready.

    Aren't antique shop finds just GREAT!!

    Here is a W&B England 5/8 wedge I snagged. Got it at the same place.

    Also there but not purchased... I tried to take pics on my phone but they came out really, really bad.
    W&B Sears Co., wedge, barber notch, shoulderless, black scales NOTE: the razor has a swoop to it.
    Boker Edelweiss 5/8, full hollow, ivory scales
    Jewish 5/8, American Immigrant boat etched on razor, black scales
