Took some aluminum cans up to the scrappers this AM and on the way up noticed an estate sale in a very upscale area just north of town but I bypassed it on the way up.
On the way back I stopped in and in looking about one of the ladies running the show asked me about my cap (a Swiss/ WWII German style cap) and she pointed out some military gear for sale.
I told her I was really looking for any old razors or shaving gear and was told someone purchased all the razors they had about half an hour ago.
Of course being a glutton for punishment I just had to ask what they looked like and she said "oh there was one with a black handle(most likely late 60's-70's SS or Super Adjustable), a silver one with a thick handle and a plastic case".
I ask if the case had a roundish lens-like thing molded into the clear lid.
"I'm pretty sure it did (great,a cased Fat Boy) and the other one was another older looking razor with a real nice wooden case." (@*^%#!! I just missed a cased Big Fellow).
Hoping that they at least were asking outside the spare cash I had on me (either that or my inner masochist was going "thank you sir may I have another?") I asked what they had sold for..."I think we asked 2.00 for the black one and 5.00 each for the ones in cases."
So if any of the B&Ber's in the northwest burbs of Chicago heard an anguished scream about 11:45 AM that was just me..
