W&B ebay special date of man.?
Don't believe nobody bid on this,did I miss something? can anyone give me an idea as to what year this razor is?
saw this,watched it, bid(the only bidder),got it for $5.99 +free shipping (he paid $8 to ship it,almost feel bad,it cost him $2 + ebay fees to sell it).shoulderless wade & butcher,5/8,barbers notch,buffalo(?) horn scales...GLUED TO A PIC FRAME.thats a new one on me.looked restorable,was hoping the other side,the glued side,was ok,it was,no pic of that but it was better than the front.sorry about the pics,used the scanner.
It was hot glued,which came off easily.one scale was cracked on the back and I cracked the front of the same scale getting the pins out.saved the bullseye washers and what looks like an alum. wedge.the scales are warped pretty good,and with the cracks and a big chip or two,I'm not sure if I'll try to save them.
Started with 100grt and went to 600 wetndry,then polishing compound,cleaned up nice enough,not mirror,but good enough for me on this project. after it was cleaned up ok i tarnished it with vinager and mustard to give back the old look,might use bluing on the letters then sand it to make them stand out more.also noticed on the inside of the scale was a "makers mark?" " T * F",don"t remember ever seeing that before. at the risk of being lynched here,I also filed down the tail to a point and rounded a lump around the pivot hole on the blade.I think it gives it more of a flowing curved look.
and here's the few pics I took....
