This Big Fellow showed up on my doorstep today! I didn't realize it but it has the old type head. The serial number puts it from 1920. I have some before and after cleaning shots for you because I am pleased with how it turned out.

Understand. I meant that the Old Type and the New Improved are gorgeous sets. Now you need to find the New Improved set to keep this one company.
Oh dear. I think I'm enabling. Sorry.

Very nice!
I never heard of it.
How big is it actually?
Looks large but I can't tell if that is just the picture...

Sweet set! Those dove-tailed gum wood cases are the bomb!

well, if you have THAT plan... you'll also need a Big Boy. And a Big Boy/Fellow hybrid.
Just so they'll have company.

Man, consider yourself lucky - I was busy with kids and projects and forgot to bid on that one. You also got a nice wilkinson empire razor, right?
I don't know if Kraken just got a nice Wilkinson Empire set but I did. I posted it in the Sept 2010 score thread.
