Wow rue, have I ever told you, that you have good taste?

 

[rue]

Awww.... thank you

I just received this old Darwin Razor

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170792009606?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

It basically mounts a short piece of what could be a straight razor blade in a handle to hold like a modern double edge or cartridge razor, but has a mechanism that allows honeing and stropping the blade and maintain precise angles.

I used a similar model, only made by Rolls this morning, and also have some of the old Kampfe lather catcher models, as well as some Valet Auto Strops.

I wouldn't try to flex the record like they have pictured on the dust jacket.

I would like to see the original record, never heard of them before.

Wolverine Addison Boots

Here is my latest ebay find. Wolverine 1000 mile Addison boots. They are the most comfortable shoes right out of the box that I have ever owned! They are a size D width, so I ordered my normal size, good thing, they fit great. Some are ordering a full size down, must be EEE width. Most people think I am wearing dress shoes, untile I flash a little ankle. Went back to order a second pair to wear while riding my motorcycles, out of my size. I may order a tan pair for the bikes, saw a write up where the owner really wore his tan pair through the mud and muck, really looked cool, hard to believe. Makes you wonder why this kind of boot ever went out of style for every day use. No tennis shoe I have ever worn, is this comfortable!

Love that wingtips Stearmen! I could find use for them too

I won few days back Fat Domino's LP. Onvergetelijke hits

Glass Door Knobs

Just picked up some crystal door knobs, less then $10.00 apiece. Two are matching, three are the same flower pattern, one of which is the coveted purple, [yes I know why they turn,"] and one brown porcelain. I made a little Rube Goldberg adapter to put one on my truck, didn't want to drill it out and ruin the threads. Rilly dresses up the little Toy Toco, don't you think?

Those are beautiful Stearmen!

Thanks Rue! The sad thing is, I was out house shopping and stopped at an open house, little 50s ranch. I noticed that there was one set of glass knobs, I asked the realtor about that, he said the daughter inherited the house, she and her boy friend took all the glass door knobs and tossed them in the trash, then put some cheep fake pewter knobs in there place. The realtor made the same face as me, and as all of you are making as you read this!

I bought this a few days ago. 1938 Ericsson 162 (NOS handset & replacement cord, recently serviced).

Also this dropside toaster (It arrived in the original box). It needed a bit of a clean, but polished up wonderfully. It toasts a mean crumpet!

 

[rue]

Fantastic finds LL! Amazing that the toaster still works

Agreed - that phone is fabulous! Would love something similar in our hallway!

Wow! Even the nail polish. Such a deal. I can see somebody buying that as a "prom kit" for their daughter. To which Jasmine would gratefully reply:

"Moth-errr, that is like. you know, sooooo out of Carrie. Omigod, why don't you just like pour pig blood all over me or something!" lol
