Thread: Clauss in ivory I got for free....

Went to a local antique store yesterday and asked if the proprietor had any straight razors. He summarily produced a box of mostly user grade straights in mediocre condition...and then I saw it, a Clauss in great shape scaled in ivory <drool>

Unfortunately, I won't have any more money until the first of the month...so I had to walk away. Then, last night I came up with an idea. I gathered up a few fountain pens I don't use anymore and took them down to the store today in the hopes that we could work out a trade. One Sheaffer Balance and Conklin Crescent Filler later, I came home with this:

Nice picture, you blade tease. Where's the rest of it?

Don't have my DSLR at the moment, so I'm stuck taking cell phone pics...yuck.

Was that first photo with a cell phone?
If so, I've gotta get one!
My older digital camera cannot take that good of a picture.

You guys on here tend to be quite lucky. My experience in local antique stores have been quite sad. Good on you and quality way to live. I know all too many people who cannot give up something they don't use.
