Hello gents,
I have a question for you. I've been on vacation since December 22nd and that has given me a lot of play time. Visiting some antique shops I came across a NEW. Though I dont shave with them I love the looks, cleaning them up, and sending them on to good homes.
The one I have below was jet black and nasty when I found it. After a scrubbing bubbles soak, scrub, and some Flitz polish it turned into this beauty. I have only ever seen these in gold and was wondering if they were also manufactured in silver? If so about how many were made? Did I get lucky or is this someones re-plate? Hard to imagine a re-plate in the condition it was in at a shop. Couple of spots on the top cap but other than that shes beautiful! Was going to pass it on but may just keep it. Cant stop looking at it lol. Pics dont do it justice and plan on a little more polishing.
