Flea Market Jackpot
SWMBO found these three at a local flea market:
Went back the next day and found these two:
The last two have definitely seen better days. Looks like some one took a dremel to them. Hopefully, I'll be able to do some thing with these babies.

Wow, she was really looking out for you. I think the real jackpot for you is your SWMBO.
Great finds, congrats to you.jfleming9232 and bonitomio like this.

You said it, Mark. She's definitely a RAD enabler. She's learning what to look for as well. She was hesitant about the last two, the W&Bs, so she took me out there later. She still made out better than I did, price wise. She haggles better than I do. Still, all five for ten dollars apiece so I couldn't complain at all.

Great Score. I've always kind of thought that Flea Markets are greatly underrated as sources for good straights at bargain prices. I'm not ashamed to admit that the bulk of my rotation are $8-12 Flea Market saves. The vast majority of which have turned out to be top shelf shavers with a little cleaning up and a few minutes on the stone. Speaking of which, I may just take a ride out there this weekend.

The frameback has ivory scales-hope they are not cracked. Swedish? Looks like it will be a treasure when cleaned up and honed. What are you getting her?
