    Default Filarmonica #14 "Rejoneo" Medallon Taurino and other scores!

    a couple weekends ago I bid on two live auction lots in Texas by phone that were indexed online by an auction service.

    I went by 2 incredibly terrible pictures, but, I was fairly certain I saw a filarmonica and a large 8/8+ W&B.

    I ended up paying $126 shipped for 8 razors.

    Little did I know, I scored a 8/8 Filarmonica #14, a 9/8 W&B Celebrated, and 8/8 W&B Celebrated. Pretty amazing.



    I spent some time cleaning up the filly, havent touched the rest yet. Also, can anyone tell me WTF that thing is on the bottom?!?!? lol

    here is the Filarmonica #14 "Rejoneo" in all its glory!

    I would bet that little thing is a 'corn razor'. The filly is a beauty. I love the picador & the bull etching. Great score.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I'm exceedingly jealous right now, we don't have estate sales like that in NZ, nor do we have many junk stores selling old straights. I want to be able to buy job lots of old razors from people who know nothing about them, and then have awesome finds like you clearly have had in this lot!

    Great work on the Filly, looks good, can't wait to see how the W&Bs and the rest turn out (those Spikes are good wee shavers too, worth a resto for sure).

    Just outstanding, congratulations! I'm totally impressed.

    I didn't even know the Filarmonica Taurino series came in #14, I've only seen #13s before. Wow.

    Amazing find! Congratulations. +1 on the corn razor, although it's not like any I've seen before.
