June Hauls - GAW9576 - 06-04-2020

I went to the post office yesterday to send out a package. When I was leaving I noticed one of the local Antique stores was open. It happened to be the first day they reopened since everything that's been going on.
I had gone around about 3/4 of the store not seeing anything. Then there they were. 8 razors. I wasn't interested in 2 of them but the other 6 were calling me. I had a little cash in my wallet for just such an occasion. I had decided on 2 when the both owner walked up. I asked if he would reduce the price of the Schick because the handle was cracked. Even though the tag said firm he dropped the price. So figuring nothing ventured nothing gained I put the 6 razors I was was interested in all lined up on the shelf and asked if he'd make me a deal on the 6 together. He said $20 for those 6.
They were all priced $5 except 1 at $3 and the shick he had dropped to $3 from $5 because of the crack. So total price each worked out to $3.33.  Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin can't beat that for my first day back in an antique store.
Here are some pictures of 5 of the razors I can't post 1 of them. 
I think the Schick is a type G but I'm terrible with remembering ID info so please verify or correct if that's the case.
I plan on making a custom handle for the Schick.

Awesome. Yes that is a G. I used a Gem Junior like the bakelite handle one this afternoon. Good score.

I just watched the video. Happy Belated birthday.
Does anyone know what kind of metal the handle in the middle is. Also the head on that one has a different plating on it. It's glod in color but actually has plating. Most my other gems that are gold in color seem to be raw brass. This one also had a bit of tarnishing that was mostly purplish with some other colors kinda like motor oil in a puddle on blacktop. The top cap and back cleaned up nicely but I can't seem to get the inside very well.

My scuttle arrived today, but it had two breaks on top.

I glued the two pieces back, but there were micro pieces that were lost. It is still useable, but I am sorry for the breaks.
