Default Has anyone ever seen one like this?

Wow, I wonder how old this one is. Have any of you guys or gals ever seen one like this before? Maybe Gary? Anyway, it looks pretty cool, I don't know if it could be restored or not. The description is pretty crap. Take a look!

That is a cool looking blade; maybe a very early custom or a razor from a local maket. That frown looks pretty bad though, and who knows if it would even take a good edge.

Shave worthy or otherwise, that's got collector written all over it for someone who collects to that level.
