Vintage Safety Razors, Collectibles, Ramblings


**********************************
Well I called it pretty close, auction ended around 10pm, was home about 11:45. I was warned that it was going to be a full moon that night and it was. Don't know what it is about auctions and full moons but it never fails, total confusion. Anyway we were loaded to the walls with stuff, some good, some not so good. But there was enough neat stuff to make an auction. September seems to be time finish cleaning out the corners of the garage, attic etc. And the dealers unload whatever didn't move over the summer. Which does make it interesting. Bought a few things, not as much as usual but lately I have no idea what to buy, the market just doesn't make a lot of sense. So I'm going back to my old standby stuff, collectible paper and ephemera, postcards, vintage kitchenware and small collectibles. The glass and china markets make no sense and with the postal rates it's even harder to figure how to buy so you can price it some where in reason.

Added a bunch of vintage razors and other stuff to the shop.
