Acquisitions September 15 - 21

[ECOSSE]

I picked up this bad boy at a Flea Market today for $2. A '56 Super Speed. I asked the guy if he ever comes across many DE razors. He just rolled his eyes and said "No way, you'll cut your face up!'

I kindly gave him the two bucks and was on my way. I'm quite please at how its shining up after a little polishing.

I have had a fairly good week, unfortunately I have been waiting a long time for most of this stuff to show up, and got about 5 razors/cases that were broken. :( It is a gamble, you win some, you lose some.


cue singing angels, this Diplomat is beautiful. :D

Some English goodies, a brass English Tech, HD (plating coming off above TTO), and a gold Rocket, and a nice SS Sun-Up kit

Aristocrat Junior in a Rocket case, and a G-bar, because I needed a cased one. :)
and yeah, I got a techmatic, no, not on purpose. Antique dealer wanted to sell that and the slim together. Cool case though! :happy102
