I'm going to have to hit up the local antique shops a little more often! For $20 bucks, I think I did ok on this one. Now to start thinking about the endless restoration and scale options *sigh* Here's some pics:

Oh Boy... $20.00
If the seller ever knew. lol
Good catch and congrats.
WOW! Great find! If you'll just give me your name and address I'll have a team sent over right away to take that off your hands while you sleep... I know it must be terrible burden to possess that razor... right?
Wow. Great find!
Feels a bit like stealing, doesn't it? I got mine for $40 and almost felt bad for it.
Ya stole it!!! LOL
You sure don't see many $20 W&B's in that good condition, most in that price range are rusty junk. I did manage to find a W&B Special at a local antique shop for $20 a while back in decent shape. Did a little cleaning, honed it up a bit and it shaves great....love those W&B's!
BTW, very good find.....Congrats!
I actually bought an identical WB Celebrated in beautiful condition today at a local antique store. No pitting and the scales were perfect. The guy had it tagged for $25cdn but told me $20cdn was good. It's a 7/8" and after a little polish looks new. I'll post pics later.
He had a few bokers for the same but had too much hone wear to use
Nice blade ! Just out of curiosity ... are the scales cracked at the pivot or anywhere else ? What I'm getting at is, I would rather have an old W&B in original scales with chips and bug bites if they are not cracked at the pivot than in new non original scales. Obviously YMMV. :)
