    Default Looked at every antique shop within an hour (that i could find)

    Ok, so today i looked at every antique shop within an hour from bristol, TN (or at least every one that i could find). the story was the same in almost every place, either priced WAY to high (like 150 for a case and sons with some rust on blade) or we dont have any left, a guy came in and bought them a week or two ago

    but anyways, here is what i did find.
    the first is a (this is what is written on tang)
    W H. Moreley and Sons
    Clover Brand
    Germany

    The second has written on it:
    best silver steel
    solingen

    written on scales is 'Spezial" (supposed to be special?)

    the last is a gillete adjustable safety of some sort, they had a box that they seemed to be trying to just clean out so i bought it.


    anyways, this is what i found, if anyone knows more than i do about any of these (i know very little) please, feel free to share, i am always looking for more information on my razors

    I can post more pics on request

    These are all quite nice finds, so congrats!
    The "SPEZIAL" is probably an Ernst Klopp...The DE looks like a Gillete Extra Long handle Black Beauty. Pretty nice stuff!

    Really like the scales on that morley! I've got one as my daily shaver. Your scales are way cooler than mine.

    The Gillette is a Super Adjustable. It should date from 1968 to 1975 or so. They went to a plastic baseplate after that.

    No, that one doesn't.

    It should have a letter and number on the bottom. Example: O3

    Scales of W H. Moreley & son is beautiful. Just checked my razors, I also have one without producers name, only "best silver steel solingen". Scales not original, nothing written there. I don't shave with it now, but tried it and it was a good shaver.
