I was very surprised to find, on a routine inspection of a new pharmacy opened up near me, a few cartons of Wilkinsons. Checked the gold number 5 and it was on top of the logo! Didn't expect that! Then tried to remember if I was remembering the right way round. Checked the card carton the blades were in and it said made in the UK. Excellent!
Now the problem. Took them to the lady behind the counter and she had to look up the price in a book (no barcodes). According to the book they are £1.95 for 5! So £39 for 100 vintage English Wilkinsons! :icon_mad::icon_cry2:
I bought two five packs and guess I will buy a small amount as just an occasional treat. I was going to get some for you guys but I'm not sure I'd pay £39 for 100 of any blade! If anyone is interested I could pick up a few packs considering they're rare, and I'd be happy to add some of these to the vintage blades passaround Dodgy instigated.
Also curious how a new pharmacy got stock that's 1999 or older...
