Thread: All tell and no show*

After some disappointments from the bay recently, lost a W&B by 22 cents and gave up on the Escher discussed very recently when it hit $200, I decided to take a short road trip to console myself and see what I could find in my backyard. *I know they don't exist withouts pictures, but SWMBO is at work and I can't figure out her camera. Pictures will be coming soon, but until then, here is what came home with me:

1. 5/8 J.A Henckels #15 Twin Works
2. 5/8 Genco Expert
3. 5/8 #30 Shumate with original box
4. 5/8 Frederick Reynolds

these 4 will need some work, but the one that made the 170 mile round trip worth it, including 25 minutes at a complete standstill on I-10 on my return trip home is a near pristine Boker Red-Injun #101 (with original box) that popped the arm hair with ease. It's almost like stealing for how little I paid for it, the owner's ignorance is my bliss. Pictures soon to follow.

Please just tell me they didn't come from the Beaumont area off I-10...lol...

Nice haul

Ok, here are some pictures, four need a little work, but the Boker is near perfect. From top to bottom: A Shumate, Boker,A Genco Expert, JA Henckels, and Frederick Reynolds,

Thanks for sharing your nice score! Keep us posted with the progress.

Great score! I love hitting the antique stores.
