So went to a local town antique and collectible fair today. Not much around but did pick up a butterscotch brush.
There's about 7 little antique stores around so did the rounds of the shops. Not a lot around but did find a shop that had about 3 brushes. They had what looked like an old split, paintless wooden Eterna brush there for $30. Didn't look promising
Then found a nice little razor sitting in a display case. Now given the price of the brushes didn't hold much hope on picking up a bargain. The things not in the normal condition I collect, it's pretty much brassed on the handle but the case is good condition. Get the lady to come and open the case and......the razor is very reasonably priced in comparison to the brushes. It's mine.
As mentioned pretty brassed and it looks like the inside of the silo's been scratched in an attempt to clean, but it's the first Open Comb TTO I've found in the wild
Now I thought it was a #46 Popular, however there's no writing on the top of the TTO and the Brit Pat is 400030 NOT 400621 like the ones on Achim's site.
Most of Achim's seem to be 400621 and anything with 400300 there seems to be fat handle rather than slim.
Any assistance in identifying folks ??? ( Pictures pre cleanup )
