A nice set with worked backs and potentially ivory scales at 30/blade! I wouldn't have needed any additional pictures for sure... sounds like a winner to me. Hopefully we'll see them in their full glory sometime soon.
Found - Soligen Seven Day set

Was if ever confirmed if these were ivory of not? If yes, then someone got a hell of a deal.
The owner told me they were ivory.
And I didn't call every shop. Just 3

If anyone would like to chime in regarding thoughts as to the scale material, please feel free. Does anyone have a guess as to how old these may be?

Ivory if they pass the hot needle test, I would say. I can see the Schreger lines from here.
Those are really stunning, and worth multiples of what they sold for. If anyone has seen a nicer 7 day set outside of something custom, please let me know, I would love some pictures.
I need to stop looking at this thread, it makes me depressed that someone lucked out so hard - and slightly bummed that the future owner has decided to remain anonymous, I am sure a lot of us would at least like to congratulate him on a fantastic score.

Dude, you've already outed yourself as a antique store stalker, you think the new owner wants people to know who he is?
What piqued my interest, is that they look an awful lot like a razor I have:
But upon closer inspection, the pattern looks suspiciously just like this Dorko, that Shavingshop is selling for about the same price that entire set went for:
Doesn't really even matter if they are ivory or not, the blades themselves are most surely top-notch shavers one and all.
Next time you go antiquing, SoulSHine, remember me!

Yeah, it does look a lot like that second pic Seraphim... A LOT like that
ARRRGH - make this post go away so I don't have to keep looking at those razors!!!
Looks like a nice set of Zeepk razors to me. 
If I keep telling this to myself enough, maybe it will ease the pain of them not being mine.

it's a matter of taste, i have few sets that i like the looks of a lot better, but i am really not into too much ornamentation.
This is the first time I've ever seen engraving on a straight before. Is that common? I have an uncle that is a really good engraver I wonder if he could make some money engraving straights.
Those are a nice find... One day I hope to stumble upon a score like that.
For anyone interested, there is what appears to be the exact same blade up on the Bay at the moment.
I just picked up a schulze espe, its on it's way. Same worked back and everything. Paid about the same amount.
Beautiful razors.

I'm not even a straight razor man (just a fascinated DE guy on the verge of diving into the deep end), and I saw what a great buy those were!
Someone is indeed happy... I had no idea there were "different day of the week" straights. Is that to ensure that there's no dulling on any given day, as you can work through the set and sharpen them all at once?

Are we going to get more pictures of these?
