What's new

picked up a couple things at the antique store today

well, technically it was yesterday as its 2:11 am where im at. i went out of town with the wife to go visit her friend and i went to some antique stores i dont usually get to go to. im always looking for razors but every once in a while you find something else that catches your eye. there was a case with a few straights that i wanted to look at (over priced) and i looked down and say "Parker" when i saw $35 and couldnt not look excited. while the lady grabbed it for me she also pulled out another parker set which i saw was a "51" and right next to it was another $35 price tag. so what caught my eye initially was the "21" desk set with the shipper which seemed like a no brainer and the "51" was a bonus. the bladder on the "21" looked perfect and the bladder on the "51" is also great just needs to be cleaned.

the "21" set seems to be missing a box because there is that empty space and the box doesnt close right because pen holder on the marbe slap sticks up too far. my assumption is that the pen holder (no idea what its called) came in a box that would fit in that space but the previous owner put it together and the tossed the box???? anyone else know? well, enjoy all of the pictures. also, im not sure if you can tell but the "51" is a burgundy color

Is that 51 plum or burgundy. It looks to be the same color as the burgundy I scored last week. Hold it up to sunlight or white fluorescent light to see if it keeps its purply hue. Is it a vacumatic?
 
Nice scores! Did you end up paying sticker price or were you able to haggle down at all?

Cheers,

M.

no but i tried :lol:

i thought the vacumatic was the one with the push button? ill try to take a better picture of it to see which color ots closer to. i didnt know there was also a plum and honestly i couldnt tell you when the difference is lol
 
Its an aero... vacs do have a push button... and even though he will ask, don't send it to Brian for identification and inspection... he takes a really long time to inspect the 51s and you may never see it again
 
Nice score! I went out of my way and checked a good size antique store today and found overpriced junk. I walked out with a Gillette NEW bar handle razor I have wanted to try and that's it.

sometime you find something sometime you dont. its way more often that you dont find anything
 
My pen and pencil have the same jewels, but im not sure if they all did that, would seem odd they be different though
