Those should clean up nicely. Congrats and enjoy.
Nice buy. Hopefully the cracks in the ivory scales are still very stable.
that's what kept me from bidding....I couldn't tell from the pics and didn't want to risk it. I almost don't want to know if they were stable LOL
Lovely pair!
And I'm not talking about the pictures of Kate.

Very nice pair. Ivory to boot. Hopefully the scales can be saved.
But those razors are junk, send my way for proper and safe disposal.

What? Was half of B&B following that auction? I never stood a chance. 
Glad they went to a member. The 95.51 was me
Hope they clean up nicely. Congrats!

I was watching also and considered bidding, but had other uses for my funds. Lots of B&B watchers on that one.

Sorry Bubba. I am excited to get these...rumor is they are great shavers and were quite expensive in their heyday.
I guess I'm the only one who was more interested in the box than the razors...
Nice pick up.
Nice razors, but imho, the real gem there is that they're still in the case and that it's in such good condition.
great pick up for $100. I snoozed.. I loosed, but glad to see someone else from BB picked it up.
Congrats on the beautiful razors.

Well, ya'll can rest easy knowing that one of the cracks is certainly not stable. Both pieces of steel, however, are in fantastic shape and will clean up very nicely, which is the important part to me. Now the question is what do I make the new scales out of? I was thinking something along the lines of this - http://www.masecraftsupply.com/Merc...PROD&Store_Code=MU&Product_Code=HRNOX18X2X6PR.
Those are great looking pieces and I had a watch on them, too. Try using CA glue on that crack first. I've had good luck using it on similar cracks - unpin, glue it up, buff it out.
