Thread: Some more farm fresh goodies

Went to a barn sale today and came away with a few interesting pieces. First up is an old open comb DE. The ony markings on it are "Property US Army" and "PAT.NOV.15.04". The thing is heavy and feels really well built.

Second is a Gem push button. It's seen it's better days but should clean up to be a very servicable shaver.

And last, but not least, this straight. I origionally bought it for purely decorative reasons. The scales are pinless, stamped brass. The 5/8 full hollow blade only says Damascus Steel. When I bought it, I figured that it was a pretty, but junk razor that would never shave. Just for fun I took it to the hones real quick, and surprisingly enough, it took an edge easily and in a small test shave, was both sharp and smooth. Can't wait to see if the edge lasts for an entire shave tomorrow. If so, I made out like a bandit.
