About 3 years ago I sold a NEW and I mean NEW as in never touched by water Toggle with case, papers, outer box, everything for $500. I put it on Ebay with $500 as my Buy it now and it was snatched up. I thought I was making a killing. Today that razor has doubled in price for a true collector. But s...

I use one for a week and then clean and oil it and use a different one the following week. I clean them with scrubbing bubbles and an old electric tooth brush. Then I put a co...

Vintage Parker
Sam, have you tried a vintage pen? I owned a Montblanc in "gold" of course, it was $3000 and I hated it. I sold it for $2700 one week old. I have a Parker 51 with gold top and nib and I love it. It's not my daily writer as in a daily carry pen, because of the cost, $600. However I bought s...

I did the same thing
About a year ago I decided to keep a few daily shavers and sell "The Gold Collection." I didn't want to be burdened with selling individual razors so I put the whole package on Ebay with a Buy it Now for $5000. It was sold in less then 1 hour. I never checked to see that most of the razors...

Thanks to Mark The Shoe Shine Boy and Andrew I was able to talk to Sue and her daughter Wendy last Sunday. The last thing she told me was that her soap making helped her to make so many friends. Sue considered every customer a new friend. She was a class act and first class citizen. Her daughter Wen...

Retro 1951
I was a bit surprised that no one mentioned the Retro pens. I have 2 and they both are excellent daily writer pens. I keep black ink in one and blue in the other. They are under $50 and worth every penny. I see Richard Binder's name mentioned. I met him in person at a pen show in Raleigh NC a couple...
His handwriting
I remember when my Father died Gramps wrote me a card and letter. I was amazed how beautiful his hand writing was. He was always a gentleman and surely an asset to SMF. Rest in peace Gramps. Gone but never forgotten.

Maybe a congressman?
It's going to be hard to BUY a Senator, the drug companies, insurance companies, and big banks have already bought them all. There might be a couple of congressman left.
