Queen Mother of Scores (for me at least)

[ScienceGuy]

Was at an antiques market today and was getting tired of walking around and not finding much aside from beat up German hollow grounds when I made the biggest score I have ever had. Check it out - it's an 8/8 Joseph Rodgers with factory polish, worked spine, and a thumbnotch. And ivory scales in good shape. And there's not even rust in the pivot. Oh, and it was also $10. I almost fainted when I saw the price tag. It was hidden in a pile with a couple other junk hollow grounds. Just need to bust out the MAAS...



I also got a WB Celebrated for $10:



And finally, a sweet Wade and Butcher cast steel chisel for woodworking:



This guy had a whole box of chisels, mostly WB, but also a couple Greaves and Sons. It was cool to see the makers marks on something other than razors / knives.
