An heirloom of my people. If I understand correctly, a lamb goes in one end, and socks come out the other. The exact mechanism escapes me. #Photography#Antique
Spotted near Newport, NH during a bike ride a few years ago. I’ve always loved these old, “springy mounted” metal tractor seats, but then again I've never had to spend a day (or whole Spring) sitting on one.
Today's antique faire finds: a Stahly vibrating safety razor and... I actually don't know what the other thing is, but I bought it anyway.
There are no brand markings on it, only "Patented Feb 9 1915" on the bottom. The bottom twists like the Stahly blade and it seems like the top might rotate. There is a sharp round circle at the top and the dealer seemed to think it was for sharpening blades, but he wasn't sure. Any ideas? Time to do some research.
Action shot of the Collins wind-up safety razor. Would you shave with this? It's a moot point since unlike the ubiquitous double-edged razor blades that work in almost any safety razor, they used proprietary, round razor blades that are no longer in production.
