The razor blade is from 1926. There is a formula with the number on the blade. 2153 The first number = the decade so 2 would be 1920. Second number + third number = the year of that decade so 1+5=6 1920 + 6 = 1926 Second number + fourth number = the week of that year it was made so 1+3 = 4 = 4th week of 1926.

Born on December 28, 1884, Sawinksky owned at age 18 a toy factory and was very famous for complex 3D-wodden puzzles. He travelled all the way via route 66 to the St. Lois fair to promote his toys. It was a big success.

The bathroom wallpaper would be relatively easy to duplicate via stenciling. If you can take a hi res photo, it can be cleaned up in adobe and a pattern created to stencil it. Since this is a a low use bathroom (no shower or tub) you could, once you have a design image, have it duplicated on spoonflower. This would give you an opportunity to select the base color. More importantly you can have your own "historic wallpaper" (in varrious colorways) that you can sell and offset some of your restoration costs.

Regarding the dating of the razor blade: it has a 4 digit code on it, which Gillette began using in mid-1925. I'm not able to find the exact code "2153" on the list I have, but the "three holes" design was discontinued at the end of 1929. Beginning in 1930, Gillette blades adopted a different way of attaching the blade to the razor holder. So all I can tell you is that the blade was manufactured sometime between mid-1925 and 1929. It's an interesting find!

My granny had a late 1930's house full of knotty pine, pine doors with crystal knobs and those same bathroom sinks and bathtub. The house was not HVAC so for years she just used a large window fan but did finally get a window AC. She had the retro kitchen with the chrome table/chairs that everyone now wants to be full mid-century. I love the bathtub, it was the smoothest porcelain to be in ever. She did have a little med cabinets with a mirror over the sink. But the floors were all wood, the house was 2 full bedrooms, one bath, kitchen, living room and a den. No basement. She had a telephone table in the hall across from the bathroom with that old heavy Bakelite dial phone I love to play with. We had good times in that sweet house growing up and I was so sorry when my mom sold it. I have pics though and I love looking at it. It had a carport. She was a master gardener so her yard was flat out gorgeous. Now not your style or era, I get that, she had that early desk that every faux furniture dealer is pushing to look Edwardian but it's so heavy but looks wonderful in any home still. I want to say shaker but it's not it's that early art nouveau thing gosh can't remember the name of that furniture. Ah I think I know it ... Mission... that style but in dark oak and very very heavy with shelving. My mom paired it up with a Queen Anne antique chair but that is not working and that Queen Anne is not comfortable for very long. Don't every hit your knee on that Misson Oak as it will KILL you.

Old houses like that had a slot in the wall, usually in a medicine cabinet, that was for disposing of your safety razor blades. You would feed your used blades into the hole, and they would disappear into the wall, supposedly never to be seen again. It was considered unsafe to throw them in the trash, lest someone get cut emptying it. I have a background of building maintenance, so I have run into walls full of used blades many times.

Must say I am both mystified & enchanted by the table & chairs puzzle by Brown's company. It's several steps up in complexity from, say, nesting dolls. I have never seen another thing like it.

A lot of old homes had a small cut in the medication cabinet that went in to the wall and they would dispose of old razor blades in there

I love watching you work on this beauty. It inspires me. Our craftsman house was in bad shape and it took us many many years and tears to rebuild it. Our family never came to check on us or ask about our progress. It was tough but we got it done. Good luck dude!

Maybe you could have a stencil made of the wall pattern of the bathroom? A repeating stencil shouldn't be to hard to have made, it'll make it much easier to apply. Is it possible to take some space back from the bathroom and give it back to the kitchen as a pantry? VERY ambitious 6 month plan! Cant wait to see it!!

Not possible. This bathroom is so tiny. We have another smallish closet we will use as a pantry

Glad the bathtub will be removed so there is more space for folks to maneuver.

My cousin also restored an old house. At first they didn't have a bathroom either, but wanted to move in in order to do more and save the rent. Their solution was a public indoor swimming pool that was open all through the year, so she and her boyfriend brought a year-ticket. Like that they could use the showers, toilets, the pool and the sauna for the whole time until they had their bathroom finished. They often went there twice a day. Perhaps that might work for you too.

Another super cheap option is Planet Fitness. This time of year they usually have some super cheap join-up fee and low monthly membership. Check their shower and bathroom facilities carefully first, though. Some are super clean and others are…not so much. If you have one close, it’d do plus you could do a basic workout if you wanted to!

What about creating a stencil of the pattern in that wallpaper? It would make it faster to re-create. Just an idea.

Sleepwalk would be a good song. I was also thinking of the good and the Bad the Ugly theme song. LOL. But whatever you choose is fine. That is all. ☮️🖖

Maybe instead of painting it yourself, (I'm not doubting your craftmanship) find an online wall paper company you can submit a design to and get actual wall paper to put up. It may not be 'antique', but you'll have the design again.

All the cracked tiles can still be cut down and used. The little puzzle could it be two stools and the long piece of wood go into the other little blocks to hold that large piece. They will make something they are not just packing pieces.

I love the tile. I’m glad you are saving it. I lay tile for work and believe me… just like you said someone somewhere needs it.

You have an ambitious schedule, but with good luck, good health and good weather you may be able to get it done. It would be such a big step to have enough completed so that you can move in!

The easiest way to remove the old tub is to put a good heavy drop cloth over it and break it up into pieces with a sledge hammer and remove it piece by piece it takes a bit of elbow grease.
