All 3 are 76-79 vintage
Blades full and have snap, just a few pepper spots and have been sharpened lightly

I used to only buy 70 and earlier stuff, but they are not easy to find anymore

Late 70s, and even 80s are getting scarce now too

Should have taken before pics, they were super grungy, an hour of elbow grease with some Flitz and Renaissance wax bring them back to life

$20 each, love the pawn shops some days

Very nice!

Great finds! Wish I could have you do some treasure hunting for me, the way those turned out!

Dayum those look great. My last Old Timer I literally found in the grass all rusted out. I felt lucky to get it operational, no where near as pretty as yours. How about a step by step photo guide on how you did that.

Great work!
