The kindness of a member and a Nippon Frameback

[Antique Hoosier]

Brian from Texas (pz93c) made a post on SRP where a discussion about razor coffin boxes was being bandied about. He spoke about an empty W. Greaves & Sons coffin box and how he either needed to find a inexpensive early Greaves or give away the box. I happened to pm him and offered to buy the empty case....he wouldn't have that and sent it gratis... I promised to PIF something to him as well....Thanks Brian! I have the perfect fit with this old Greaves!

Also shown is a recent and hopefully LAST ebay purchase for awhile!!!! A Towa #77 Japanese Frameback that is slated to go to rehab in New Mexico with Dr. Joe.

I love my Japanese frameback! High quality steel for sure!

I've got a Towa frameback and it's one of if not the sharpest straight I own.

Very cool. Your greaves binge continues

Are you sure it's Japanese? The writings are Korean on the blade and handle.

But of course, it's Swedish :001_cool:


Those really old boxes are sweet!
Glad you find it, can't think of a better home for it!

Thought I had bought a Toyota and I end up with a Kia?

Nope, it's a Hyundai. :wink2:

[Seraphim]

Thought you were buying Sony, and got a Coby instead...


I wouldn't sweat it, Id imagine it'll shave as nice as a Japanese one, probably made in the same factory.

Or if you're looking to offload that cheap piece of junk.....:001_rolle
:lol:

Korean, Japanese, ehh whatever. I'll get her looking and shaving great :thumbup1:

Glad that coffin works for you, Mike.

It went to a good home. :thumbup1:
