Updated photo of some wild find glass bottles. Scores at flea markets, estate sales and thrift stores over the years gave the den the rite stuff. The queen is a factice bottle of the Veg that is over 14” tall and guessing it holds about 40 oz. Never stop looking

A 8/8 Wilhelm Mandt on my favorite Coticule for a fabulous Saturday nite shave

Touch up on a 8/8 DD Goldedge with a mystery hone. Don’t know what the stone is but I am digging what it did to the Duck

I have a W&B Masonic in ivory. I have seen several over the years made by the bigger Sheffield names. They were all engraved like the W&B. Yours looks to be a etching. I have seen several like that, don’t know the maker. They were more novelties then ceremonial

Two Cotis from the flea market. The mag line was from this morning’s market and the other was from around Christmas. They got a bath and lap today. Both have interesting, busy surfaces and this morning’s is hard, hard, hard. A few adult beverages and some muscle music got it flat.
