Today's Antique Shop harvest

I figured all of my good luck had been used up after last week's chopper find at a local shop. Today I went back and came home with this haul:
1. A sweet little Simmons Hardware Keen Kutter with fancy gold wash blade.
2. Adoration Axe.
3. A C-Mon wedge
Then two heavyweights:
4. J. Weiss Almost wedge
5. Mappin Brothers
All are in good enough shape for restoration, even the scales.
All were $10 each. I'm happy.

That Mappin is AWESOME! Color me jealous...

great score! I went into a shop the other day and all the blades needed a lot of work and the cheapest was about $60, obviously i walked away empty handed.

More pics of the Mappin, please. They made the most interesting shapes.

Great haul! I have that exact C-Mon wedge and it is an awesome shaver.

OUTSTANDING :)

Love that last two lol Ya that M&W DROOL!!!

Very well done! :tu :tu All good names and in good condition. The price is outstanding and was not too uncommon a year ago around here. Most of us would be very pleased wit a find like your's!

Aren't antique shop finds just GREAT?! :mexwave:

Great razors! A good find. :)

Super finds! You had a great day.

Mappin's scales "Bon et utile" Good and useful... Perhaps made for the French market or just a style of the times, perhaps even re-scaled from originals. Regardless, a unique shaped blade that is very nice.

Nice haul!
It gives the rest of use hope that we can find similar deals.
Most of the shops I have been to wanted too much $$.$$ for to little.

Good job and congrate's

Great finds!!!! They're all great razors. I haven't had a great find in quite awhile. Its nice to see that they're still some out there to be had.

Not a humdrum razor in that entire lot, absolutely amazing finds! I too love that Mappin & Webb, they are pretty scarce. The Keen Kutter, though, I would bet hones up without any problems into an absolutely great shaver-they take and hold a very sharp and smooth edge, and two live in my permanent shaving rotation. Congratulations. There is still "gold in them thar hills" for those who are willing to take the time and search the antique stores.

As a matter of fact it did and I shaved with it this morning! Very nice indeed.

Grrrrrrrrrr. I mean great.

Nice! I really like the Mappin and the Keen Kutter, they look awesome!

Nice find! Hope you enjoy them!

Awesome! Nice finds.

Well, I got around to honing up the Mappin and introducing it to my face. Now I see what the fuss is really all about. What an awesome shaver! I'll eventually have it restored. Definitely a keeper.
