Default A duck and a puma walked into an antique store...
Everytime I walk into an antique store, I fantasize about finding a pristine dubl duck. Well, this morning, my heart skipped a beat when I saw these sitting on the counter:



Please, be the real thing inside...




Yes. A Puma. Ok, 4/8, and some rust around the pivot, but the blade's pretty good!







Next, the DD. Please please please...





YES!!
Ok, so it is not pristine. There's some tarnish on the brass inlays, some rust on the tang. The blade's actually pretty good! No chips or nicks.



"Too bad these are a bit rusty. How much do you want for them?"

"Well, since those come with the boxes, how about 20 bucks apiece?"

What 6gun said. (One of these days I'll figure out how to type loud ;^)
I think the Dubl Duck is the real find, but both are definitely really nice - good goin'.

So, did you offer 30 for the pair, since you'd buy both of them?

Good, find Ray.

Nice move! I love finding a razor that's underpriced, and then bargaining with the seller to get it for even lower.

Good, find Ray.
I stop in there every so often. Nah, the old man's very nice, and times are hard.

Besides, my wife paid for it.
