Thread: 2 Weeks of Amazing luck

As a preface, I spent less than 150$ on ALL of this... Also, I do not have Before pictures. Sorry.

Around 10 Days ago, I found these at an antique mall:

George Wostenholm IXL Razor (13/16+) with a nice ribbon etch
Joseph Elliot Silver Steel (13/16) with a big smile, sway back, and thumbnotch (It looks evil and I LOVE it)
Wade and Butcher Bow (6/8) in great condition with the full etch intact.. Polished up great
George Wostenholm Pipe Razor (6/8) in pristine condition with all the etch intact.

And then, Yesterday, at a flea market I found:

A 5/8 hollow ground Wade and Butcher (No picture)
A 5/8 Near Wedge Wade and Butcher (No picture)
A Slightly ground down For Barber's Use Wade and butcher (No picture)
-All Scaleless-
A generic Geneva Razor (no Picture)
A Le Beuer (7/8) Spanish Point with a tang stamp of a horse holding a scythe... All the back says is "Germany". Shoulderless with a BIG tang.
A Greaves Sheaf Work razor (7/8 to 6/8 smile) took a LOT of greaseless time.

The last two I rescaled to match each other. The Greaves in black TI Replacement Scales, the Le Beuer in white TI Replacement Scales. The Greaves is satin polished, the Le Beuer in mirror, Barber's notch and Spanish point, Smile and straight, small tail and thick tail, etc etc. I found them at the same time, same place, and they're so similar but so different, I had to make the scales fit that... Fraternal Twins, in my mind. /OCD

What a Fantastic haul.

Here's the first round of pictures (Hopefully the resized correctly)

These are all the blades I got from that first run.

And here are the Greaves and the Le Beuer:

Pass. I'm fine with my current setup, and things are way to cramped for me to do that... And I'm moving back in to my dorm soon, so even less chance there... Maybe next year.

Very cool Elliot. I dunno about everyone else, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen a Bow with a barber's notch before.

I can't remember any bows that I've seen before well enough to comment, but I love the look of barber's notches, so if I got a rarity, cool, if not I'd prefer this one anyways

Cheers,Jeremy

Congratulations on a great haul!

Incredible finds! Congratulations Jeremy!
