    Today I went to the monthly antiques fair. I've found a few nice pieces in the past, but nothing like today.
    My first finds were fairly routine. The Gem with the original shipper might be NOS and the Sheraton will clean up nicely.

    I also found a few accessories.

    My heart stopped when I got to the next table.

    The Cooper Monobilt looks like it's NOS

    It also pays to open the Valet boxes

    I bought these with the cased Pal and had him throw in the NOS blade sharpener.

    On my the way to the exit I noticed the Double Coffin box that had a Millikin stub tail straight in it.

    The best part is that I started the day with $160.00 in my pocket and left with enough change for lunch
    Happy Valentines Day!

    If I find another Shave King. I'll keep you in mind. This seller showed me photos of tubs of shaving gear at his house and gave me his number. I'm going over for a picking session. I'm not ruling out a Darwin yet

    My heart stopped. I had to tell my wife to act uninterested and not to show any emotion when I started talking price. The Monobilt really got me excited.
