PM me and maybe we can work out a deal.

I could include free shipping if we met at the Texas meet or another.....

Anyhoo, it needed some lead out there.....

I've had low wheel weight buckets in the past when I sent to many weights down range.

I changed sources and no longer have a wheel weight bucket.

Thanks, Mike! Means a great deal.
Still gotta hone it.
Seems frowning from across the road...

The skins make it. I can thank Shaun for those.
Lotsa work and time. These things are special. Bowed pretty good when closed.
Nervous even as-done. ... EH?

was hoping to make it work, but no way.

Digging through the pile and found a great and unusual candidate for these scales.
Mock-up looks cool, I think...Old regrind. Big one...8/8.

Well. THAT’s a monster! Is the other side flat?

In any event, Muntz & Co weren’t around long. They showed up in this 1841 directory and then again in 1849 and that’s it. Looks like they were likely mostly merchants, but who knows?

Nice combo, Tom.

FYI. The balance test is on its edge.

So it would seem Muntz and Co sold it and S.B. made it?

Not a microtome, yet reground from something big?
Thanks for the info, Zak!
I really appreciate it!

How else will he take those cool pictures!?

Seriously though, I've wanted to try stropping some different razors side by side and see how much better the more balanced blades handle.
