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. You may also want to put a paint lid or something over the toilet hole so gases dont come up in the house lol Loving the progress!!

I hope you don't get too down on yourself about the speed of your progress! The house is coming along beautifully, and progress is progress, regardless of the speed. Try not to let 'slow' become a factor in judging the value or the worth of your progress. The house took a century to come to the state it's in, reversing the hands of time is hard work and the steps you take forward can come at your pace. In the grand scheme, a passion project like this is for life, so why sprint this early in the game? You're doing great. Thank you for sharing this incredible project with us! Your passion and joy for it is infectious.

I did that on a greyhound bus going from DC to North Carolina 1997. It was Thanksgiving weekend so the traffic was horrible with lots of queing. When the bus driver told us we are arriving in 5 min , I just blurred loudly out "Thanks heaven" (from the 7-Eleven commercial) in relif that we could finally get off the bus. I gave the part of the bus I was sitting in a real good laugh. I am Swedish so it was probably extra funny with my accent.

The German boy i am, i did some research and found an article about Sawinsky on the webpage of the history club of Troisdorf in Germany. Troisdorf is located between Bonn and Cologne. 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.

As for the downstairs bathrooms art glass windows they could be repurposed and backlit to operate off the bathroom's entry light switch. That would preserve the original features and have them serve a purpose. A suggestion for the wallpaper reproduction is to create the pattern on a linoleum block to print either on paper or directly on the walls. Good progress and Happy New Year.

This. A sawdust composting toilet works great! They are very inexpensive, stupid simple, and don't smell!!! Simply get a 5 gallon bucket, a "Luggable Loo" or similar snap-on seat/lid, and a bag of sawdust. I like to use a trash bag as a liner, but put a small amount of sawdust in the bottom and then use a cupfull to "cover up" every time you go. Because they are inexpensive & readily available you could have a "his & hers", one for each of you! I had to do this myself when my old septic system died a few winters ago, so I speak from experience!

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.

There is a long way to go no doubt about it - but your efforts, your constant work on it all in as original a form as possible - is admirable. And the video you did of the whole house tour - a room at a time - seeing a lot of things cleaned up, in their place, and having the plans of what is going to happen and when - well just FORCE ME to keep watching - but you won't have to because it's been an amazing journey to watch.

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!

Responding to you so there aren't several different razor threads. I found this info: "4 digit code: 1=decade/ RH# of 2+3=year/ 2+4=week" So... since the code on your blade was 2153, it would mean it was made in 1926 (1+5) during the 13th week (approx. mid March) if I understood it correctly?

1) That is one elaborate stink pipe! 2) The Gillette blade is from one of their early "safety razors" - 1920's +/-. 3) Stencil. I would get a stencil made of that simple wallpaper pattern. Then you could paint it onto the plaster. Makes it a bit easier (and quicker) than painstakingly trying to draw straight lines.

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.

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

As Nanci Bishof said, making a stamp from a linoleum block or making a stencil of the pattern is a great idea. I can hardly wait to see the rebuild on the mansard. Restorable? YES! Easy? Not even! Worth the effort and wait? A big "Hell Yeah!"

Am not sure but I think the little window looking at the basement stairs is not contemporary to the house,it look like a ventilation window which means its a 20/30s era,same with the 2 windows above where the sink was. For me it looks like an old door entry which make more sense since it was a pantry connected to the kitchen and they changed the entry to the hallway so that guests go right away there and don't bump onto servants going to the bathroom!.
