Wow, love the GEM!

Most kitchen gadget places will have stoppers with pour spouts. They're often used for syrups and oils. Try Bed, Bath and Beyond or the like if you're not looking for something exact.

$2?! I'll give you $4 for it

On my way home last night I stopped to pick up a display cabinet for silver spoons. With some very minor mods it will be perfect as a wall mount for razors. It has a swing open door with a glass pane and a latch. Plan is to take every other notch out. Will hold 20 razors when finished. Nice and shallow as well so will mount nicely on the wall. Cost: $20.00




After paying for it I let him know it would be to hold my razor's. He lit up and said hold on a sec! Then he came back with these in his hand! Total cost on Razor's.... $15.00



I am new at this but am a firm believer in research before request. I am close to sure I got most of these right. Please do feel free to let me know if I missed the guess on some of them! (Thanks BNB wiki for holding every bit of info needed to ID them!!)

Picked this up in a little hole in the wall shop in Venice today. at 35 euro it was the second cheapest brush in the place. they had some in the 170 euro range. ouch!
the shop keeper didnt speak english, and there's nothing on the label to tell me what grade badger it is, but I'm pretty happy with it for now. If anyone can tell from the picture please feel free to chime in.

http://www.shoeboxshaveshop.com/omega-6150---6150.html seems to answer that question

This 1955 (A-2) Diplomat. A most fortunate antique store find.

Wow, great antique store find! All i come across is cruddy old gems and pitted out gillettes. How much was the store asking for that beauty if you dont mind me asking?

[bastimret]

Good gravy! Quite a haul for $15. Very nice.

Finally found a Shulton mug at a local flea market! Been on the look out for one at various antique shops for the past couple weeks now. Grand Turk 1786. Also found these NOS Personna blades (not 74's unfortunately) sitting in a fishbowl that was mainly filled with packs of Wilkinsons. She threw them in for free with the
ug. I have not seen this Personna blade before, and a quick google searh didn't turn up anything. Anyone familiar with them? Any good?

[Eric83]

Nice mug... The Personna's are american made I think, they make blades for supermarket/drug store chains.

Was at an outlet mall in Rehobeth Beach DE a couple weeks ago. The Brooks Brothers store had a bottle of Classic after shave list price $38 that I got at 30% off. The guy that checked me out congratulated me on the find- said he was surprised they still had any, usually it goes fast.

Check here for the fun!

[bakerbarber]

Nice.

(that's not a double ring)

Great haul!!

[Zerandise]

See shows you what I know! What might it be?

[bakerbarber]

They're nice blades! If they don't look they have been wet or otherwise damaged, USE THEM!

[bakerbarber]

Single Ring Old Type

[Zerandise]

[Zerandise]
