Thread: Had to show this to someone

I'm downtown at one of the smaller local antique shops looking for shaving stuff or cigar cutters and find this.



A Gillette travel razor, never been used. Original paper protector and unwrapped blades. So a good trip.

Then I find these.



Now they may not look like much for ya'll but they're special to me and me alone.

What they are are advertising thimbles for Russell's Radiator Shop (on the left) and Russell's Radiator and Real Estate (on the right).

I was named for this man. Paul Russell (my Mother's Father). He passed away in 1976, the year I graduated from High School. Never thought I would find these in an antique mall. Didn't think any existed outside my Mother's house.

Anyway there was a bowl of them and I bought 10. I'll be going back for the rest this weekend.
