    So I have a Gillette Fatboy Never been used with an original sparkling new case and original blades. It's a 1958 code D3

    Anyone have any clue what is worth?

    Erik Redd Lizabeth, baby, I'm comin' to join ya.

    I'll give you $20, sight unseen.:)

    My guess would be $200 since it's not a toggle, but I may be way off. I never bid on razors that pricey since I'm not a collector, I just like to get old razors to try.

    Go do a search for gillette fatboy on ebay. You will get a pretty good idea. They seem to range from about $40 on up to some ridiculous prices. Most are around $50-$80 for ones in good condition.

    Razor prices vary widely depending on the current fads and market. Some month a Fat Boy in good condition will average $20-$30, some it will get as much as $100. You'll just have to gauge the waters before you end it out to bring in some money.

    You could always just use it...

    I've been watching the eBay for 2 weeks now and most of the fat boys have been selling for $90+ without a case and well over a hundred with a case. However I have not seen one that is un used? The only reason i ask is I was debating whether to sell it or hang on to it and pass it down to my son someday. I do have 3 other fat boys in near mint condition though, which I shave with already!

    Anyway I get the point, that it's as much as its worth to me or as much as I'm willing to sell or pay for it, blah blah blah... I just didn't know if anyone here was a collector and had any idea of its current going value?

    A cased NOS Gillette Fat Boy would probably go for quite a bit, probably just shy of $200 with some luck and good marketing. They are rare and, at the moment, valuable. If you already have a few in near mint condition, then I would absolutely sell the cased one and buy something spiffy with the proceeds.
