Good Day At The Antique Fair

**MichiganRob** · 07-29-2012, 06:55 PM

So my wife and I went to an antique show at a county fairground today. They had over 400 vendors so my hopes were pretty high that I would find some gear. I've been hoping to find some vintage Williams, ala Hoosier Trooper, but no luck. I did find a couple of good items, and one awesome find. Well, I didn't, but my wife found it for me. Here's some phone pics (not the greatest I know) after I gave each of them a soak and toothbrush scrub with dish soap:

First up a cased Gem SE that I paid $10 for:

Lastly, a Gillette Sheraton, which my wife paid, get this......$2. No lie, two whole dollars.

Slam dunk!

**bryan1980** · 07-29-2012, 07:52 PM

In the words of Napoleon Dynamite, "LUCKY!". I'd love to find a Slim for that price.

A good day, indeed.

**rxonmymind** · 07-29-2012, 09:16 PM

Wow! Congrats!

**Copierguy** · 07-29-2012, 09:16 PM

Hope you are not the jealous type, cause I would like to ask your wife to go shopping for razors.

**Haggises** · 07-29-2012, 09:23 PM

I'll give your wife 3, no! 4 dollars for that Sheraton. I'll even cover shipping.
Deal?

**Domminigan** · 07-29-2012, 09:32 PM

Excellent deals all!

**ERVARGASNY** · 07-29-2012, 10:11 PM

Wow those were. Steal, Congrats

**John_Roger** · 07-29-2012, 10:53 PM

You didn't get written consent to pick my area, sir. send 'em over and I shall look the other way (this time)

**fast14riot** · 07-29-2012, 10:58 PM

Excellent day, for sure! I just scored a great condition Schick injector G8 for $5, and two slim adjustables for $25 including shipping. Not as good a deal as you, but I'm happy with them. Oh I also got an Enders with three boxes of new blades and original case for $15.

Nice finds Rob, especially the cased 1912, but no Williams, that's kind of a bummer....

**Johan** · 07-30-2012, 03:57 AM

You lucky.... ;-)
There far less chance to find nice old razors in Sweden under similar circumstances. Gratulations. Got to be nice to buy a Sheraton for only 2 bucks! Close to get one for free.
