SWMBO and myself went out to the antique shops in Wilmington IL this weekend and pretty much came up bupkis,then on Sunday went to the local antique mall to see if my "go to" razor guy was back from Florida (he was but restock was mostly Old Types and some cased bar handle NEWs) and on the way home spotted an estate sale sign and again aside from enough British Sterling aftershave to keep me going for a year or so came up empty but my route happened to take me out to another road that lead me past a shop I hadn't planned on hitting and I think my luck changed....
Had a price of 25 on it but got the owner to go for 20.
I know it's a Merkur slant but outside of that I not aware of how old it may be or if 20 was a good price (pretty sure it was).
If anyone can at least give me a ballpark idea as to age (shop owner said the seller said it was his grandfather's)as there are no obvious date codes but the threaded base seems to be different from other Merkur slants I've found on line.
