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.

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.

Great razors! A good find.
