Just got this beauty in the mail today. "JOSEPH ELLIOT'S AMERICAN HOLLOW GROUND ON A 1 INCH STONE". From the eBay pics I was thinking I'd do a full restoration, but it's in amazing shape with a nice patina. I'm gonna scrub it down, hit it with some steel wool and call it good. Some light rust between the scales and some small spots here and there, but nothing major. It came in the original box and I really don't think it's seen much daylight since it was made. The Bakelite scales don't have any oxidation or a single scratch on them. What I thought Was a good deal at $25 shipped turned out to be a steal. So I guess technically this is something that I'm working on, but only for about five minutes.
