Vintage scales

Aloha,

Has anyone else bought a vintage razor just for the scales. I inherited my father's straight razors and have one blade only in desperate need of new scales. I saw a vintage razor on the bay with really beautiful scales and I was about to put in a bid but, thought I should get some advice here first. Is there any thing wrong with a set of vintage scales (horn)? Do they get brittle with age or are there any other concerns I should consider before I pull the trigger?

Mahalo
