Antiques Store finds
Picked these up today at an antiques store for $20 each. Did I pay too much? Should I try to salvage the scales?

Thanked: 127Wow, thats a nice find, Congrats! I dont think that 20 for each was too much, if all are restorable they will will be real beauties when they are cleaned and polished, the big one with the black handle will need some work to correct the blade but im sure you will like them when theire ready, especially the W&B and the ERN are well known as good razors!
What TM´s are the other Razors?

A Wade and Butcher and an ERN!!! Wow - that's a great find, for $20 each, the razor God's shined on you!!! They look like they'll clean up fine, and the scales look like they're horn or bone...great find!!
Congrats!!

Thanks, guys, I can't wait to start working on them. There's the W&B, ERN, Ernst Herms Jr Solingen, and FRAM Solingen. The FRAM has a nice etching on the blade that says Solingen.
