What's new

Yesterday’s acquisitions

Well yesterday, since we arrived a day early for the annual fill the freezer hunting trip the wife and I decided to peruse the local thrift and antique stores. She was rather surprised that I wanted to do this since normally I grudgingly go along to do so.

Well I’m glad I did.
I found a GEM HFT for $1.00 ($1.08) after tax.

1.25”x7 coticule $35

And a find that would be to important to many folks but seeing as I am a Texas history nutcase this one really caught my eye. Not a special razor by any means but….. it is a Paul Mueller “Menger” razor. And matching barber hone from Paul Mueller fine cutlery in San Antonio, Texas.

I won’t go into the price of the above item with stone. I know I paid too much for it but sometimes things are worth more to one person than to another for reasons other than the actual monetary value.
 
Thank you all, I have some gem stainless coming for the GEM.
I’ve seen some reviews as of late saying the blued carbon steel blades don’t seem sharp. Has that been anyone that may have used those places perception of them?
