re: Show the restoration before and after.

Here’s the type 15 #4. It has the wrong lever cap though. I gave $10 for it:

and after cleaning it up:

It’s razor sharp and I use it all the time.

Here are the No 5 and 27, they were free, so I can’t complain about the price:

As you can see, the No 5 is missing the chip breaker and screw:

and this is not the correct iron:

The 27 has a whole different set of issues. I’m not certain it could even be used:
There are several cracks around the mouth

and a huge gouge out of the bed at the toe:

and the tote is very badly cracked:

And a couple others I have picked up…no restoration required, and they are users:
