Picked up an abused single ring

[Sled Dog]

Stopped by a collectables store on the way home and found a single ring in pretty rough condition.
The case is in really bad shape, but it appeared to have been red or burgundy colored at one time.
That seemed unusual, and it was cheap so I figured I better bring it home

Completely missing one side of the case

The bottom...

The inside isnt any better...

Bent corner teeth and a really bent tooth...

Serial number C599678, from 1915

Cleaned up...

No markings on the back

Not perfect, but it looks better than it did before

Nice work!

Well done mate

Very nice work! If you're willing to take a risk, the middle bent tooth may be saved. I just fixed one that bad on a Rotbart. I heated the tooth a bit with a small torch and used a small flat head screwdriver, from the bottom, and bent it back in place. It's a 50/50 chance. However, if it's not bugging you or affecting your shave, by all means, enjoy!

Looking great, those oldies sure do seem to clean up quite well and fairly easily eh.

The tin foil/baking soda trick is the cats butt on those

Thanks...it took 2 soakings in tinfoil/baking soda and a light polish with Flitz to clean up this one

That cleaned up nice. I'd try to straighten out that bent tooth with a pair of needle nose pliers.

I dunno...I would rather have a bent tooth than a missing tooth

It's amazing how nicely a nasty looking razor can be cleaned up! Nice find and great job bringing one back from the junk heap! Thanks for sharing!
