When did razorblades get so goddamn expensive?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

$26 for 12 razorblades?

Anyone use an electric razor?  I tried one when I was a teen and hardly had any hair to shave off my face but the concept just seemed a little dirty to me.  You know when you go to BJ’s and you casually toss a few small items in your cart and then get up to the front and they ask you for $325?  It’s these tiny items like razorblades that add up quick.

Holy shit I’m getting old.  I sound just like my father did when I’d roll my eyes at him when he complained about how much stuff cost.

(thank you to all my twitter friends who helped out with the proper spelling for goddamn)

Bill Hubbard Comments On Arley Pett’s Codfish Pin

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey,
Interesting article on Arley Pett’s Codfish Pins.  Reminded me of a codfish pin my
mother had.  See the attachment.

The pin is sterling silver and shows a codfish and a gaff or billy handle and a line and hook.  It is 4-1/2" wide and 3/4" deep.  On the reverse side is engraved "M.E. Bott "Sept.27th. 1892 19Yrs."
When Bill Blanchard had the Jewelry Store(Blanchard’s)on Maine St., next to Cape Ann Savings Bank I showed it to him.  He had never seen one like it.  I wanted to add this as a comment on the Codfish Pin post but couldn’t figure out how to do it and include the picture.

The Homecoming

 The Homecoming, circa 1950 Anonymous/©Fredrik D. Bodin
It’s rare that a photograph can make me well up a bit every time I look at it. This one does. Although we can’t see see the soldier’s face, we know where he’s been: to war. Now he’s returned after a long hot trip, being welcomed by his family in an airport or train station. The three women, probably his wife, mother, and daughter, are all crying with happiness to have him home. It’s hard to not do the same.
About two years ago a woman came into my gallery with a few photographs she wanted to sell. I was struck when I saw this one, and bought it. It’s an 8×10 black and white glossy, with no information on the front or back. An unknown press photographer probably took the picture, and I don’t know if it was ever published. I wonder if he or she realized the emotional weight of this image. An unexpected gift for us on Memorial Day.
