    Default Revenge of the RAD

    Ok finally found time to hit a couple new antique shops within a 45 min drive of me and OH BOY! Now I submit for your viewing pleasure my acquisitions of the day(wish my photography skills were better)!
    Pic #1 is an Ashton Jackson & Co. beneath the name it says "Unique & Inimitable" with "American Razor" beneath that. Pretty sure this one is going out for a professional resto to do it justice.My first full wedge, notice the heel is quite a bit smaller than the toe, is this hone wear or were these oldies made that way? Couldn't find anything on it in the wiki.
    Pic #2 is a Gunkel B.S. Co. St. Louis Mo. Made in Germany, the backside of the tang says Cyclone.This razor appears to have never been honed.
    Pic #3 is a M.Jung New York Made in Germany, the backside says 80 Reg Us Pat Off., and also appears to have never seen a strop or hone.
    Pic #4(I saved the best for last imho) is a Carl Monkhouse Blackie. Unfortunately the scales are warped and shot, the blade pinged out of it when I picked it up the first time, there is a very small nic on the edge and very light hone wear. I peed a little when I picked it up and saw what it was. The black wash is still on the tang and shank, and the red diamond is still bright red. Please enjoy.
