... then I could ask this question over there. ;)
I struck gold at an estate sale this morning. I walked into the bathroom and BAM! Right in front of me was a whole shoebox full of old razors and packages of blades! I'm in heaven digging through this stuff. Heck, one is an old Schick Personal Touch with a pack of 5 blades. Got it for a quarter and it'll bring an easy-peasy $50-$60 in a heartbeat. I can prolly get a couple hunnert bucks for the total of a $6.00 investment.
Anyway, I dug through some old fishing stuff in the garage ... nothing really grabbed my eye except this old cricket box. I know it's not worth anything to speak of, but although I remember them, I can't for the life of me remember when they were common. Can any o'youse date this thing? There are no markings on it, but I remember my grandfather had one that looked persactly like it so I would guess 40's - 50's maybe? I remember it was the same color as a Coleman stove. This one's all there including the belt clip and they didn't charge extra for the cricket poop. Not worth much I don't think, but I like thinking of the history behind it and it reminds me of "Pop Kribbs". Everything's plastic these days.
