More Antique Store Finds!!

[michiganlover]

So I went looking around in the local antique stores, and found a few razors. There was an all plastic Star Tech, a Bakalite Injector, and a plastic handled Injector with a little lever on the bottom.

I picked up the plastic handled one, and proceed to find the proprietor of the booth. He tells me it will be $1.00!! I happily pay, and he says "Why do you want only that one?" I tell him I think it will clean up better.

He indicates, he has some Gillette's at his house, in a display case, and will bring them by tomorrow if I like. I ask him the cost on them, he says $2-3 dollars each!! Tomorrow could result in some awesome finds!!

So I go back to the booth today, and he did bring the razors in, I found the following, for $25.00. Most of these are going to go to the B/S/T to find homes with deserving newbies:

The find includes the following:

2 x Silver Fat Handled Techs
1 x Tech with Black Plastic Handle
1 x Gillette "Old" with a Ball Handle from a Gillette "New". Head is silver, handle is gold.
1 x "Star" Tech. Base plate, and handle are black plastic. Head cap is metal.
1 x Schick Injector with Bakelite handle.
1 x Ever Ready 1912 S.E. with the Ornate Handle.

I plan on keeping the "Old", and the Injector if it cleans up well. Everything else will go to the B/S/T.

7 razors for $25.00, or $3.57 each.

Anyway, out of the batch, I am only going to be keeping the "Old". Watch for the rest of the batch to hit the B/S/T by the middle of the week.

Nice find. I like hunting for razors in the wild too. You never know when you will stumble upon a great score.

The best antique store find I have had was a Tuckaway-like Norfolk set for $28. Not quite the $5 Toggle, but not bad. However, I that was over 8 months ago and I've not gotten much since, sadly!

looks like a nice haul, mate!

I'm going back out to hunt "in the wild" again today myself.

Nice haul.

Nice finds.

That Schick injector with the bakelite handle is pretty much my daily shaver now. I found mine at an antique store, too, but they charged me 6 bucks instead of 1-3. Well worth the 6 bucks, IMO.

Load that baby up with the Schick injector blades (from drugstore.com) and give it a whirl. Use the same principles you use with DE shaving. I think you're going to like it.
