This is just a guess, I am not an expert on them but I would imagine that it is in the $20 to $30 range. But again it is just a guess. (in reply to dizzy) Post #: 61

RE: Went to buy some bottles and got this. - 3/30/2008 7:00:05 AM    huffmnd   Posts: 372 Joined: 8/8/2005 From: Sparta Tennessee Status: offline You are welcome. Straight razor collectors usually go for certain types of razors. It depends on the name. The condition. What the handle is made of . Whether it is plastic , celluloid, bakelite, bone, ivory or silver. The decoration on the handle means alot and so does the decoration on the blade. Yours does have a good decorated blade and that is a plus.Again I am no expert on them, I am only stating what I look for myself. If you do a completed listing search on ebay you should get a good general idea.  Then on the other hand timing is everything when it comes to ebay. If you find 2 collectors that just happen to be looking for what you have it may just do a bit better. I hope that this helps.  Oh and one other thing to keep in mind is how much do you like it? When it comes to collecting anything, the market value of anything doesn't matter. If you like it THAT is really what is important. < Message edited by huffmnd -- 3/30/2008 7:04:16 AM > (in reply to dizzy) Post #: 63

I have quite a few of them , but do not care to list them there anymore. I have listed quite a few razors there, many of which were very nice ones. Of course with the medeocore ones you can expect that, being they do not hold much value. I put a pretty nice one with a nude woman on the handle once, and it brought if I remember right $22.50 or in that neighborhood, thought it should have brought a good bit more. But as you say, with eBay , it is all in the timing, you have to the right combination of people at the same time to see it and want it. eBay is a funny place, I put a wood straight razor on there that I made with not the workmanship involved in it as the one shown below and it brought $57.00 ! Go figure. Attachment (1) (in reply to huffmnd) Post #: 65

JUSTdidn't want to change with the times I guess,but he said you got a closer shave with a straight razor. I think I still have a personalised shaving mug some where in this junk house. Of course ocupational mugs can go for a lot of money.BEware there are a lot of repos.I would have had to buy those razors too, HUFFMAN,they are very cool! < Message edited by glass man -- 4/9/2008 6:48:54 PM > _____________________________ LOVE is in the water LOVE is in the air Show me where to go Tell me will love be there Teach me how to speak Teach me how to share Teach me where to go WILL LOVE BE THERE?
