Thread: what a find...and now a little restoration

oh my..
guys..
i normally don't find anything at antique stores...
but not today.

I stumbled upon a 7 day set in pretty good shape...no chips, very minimal rust/hone wear...very little pitting. the blades will require a little work, but not much. They are probably Sheffield made 6/8 with ivory scales and lead spacers. The tang mark is "J. Drew & Son, Leadenhall Street City, Piccadilly Circus W & Brighton"...which after doing some research it would appear they are just retailers and not the manufacturers of the razor, hence the speculation they are Sheffield manufactured.

So the reason why this is posted in the workshop is...only ONE (of course) side of one of the ivory scales is cracked (damn Sunday!) and I am wondering if any of you gents who restore tons of razors and might have a tang side ivory scale that would fit as a replacement. They are 5 10/16" Long, 11/16 wide at the wedge pin, and 8/16 wide at the tang pin. They appear to be pretty standard size and shape for a lot of the other ivory scales i've seen, so i figured it was worth a shot to see if someone had a lonely side of a scale waiting for a higher calling...to which i can see no greater than bringing a 7 day set back to life. Please shoot me a PM, i'd be happy to pay for it if anyone has one...

Apologies for the bad picture quality...

Thanks! and WOO!
