My Collection

I would like to find out how much my collection is worth, I have no Idea how to tell or find out any help would be great thank you

 

$1,000,000 but YMMV!

 

It's worth whatever someone will pay you for it. Seriously, if you check prices on ebay, that'll give you a pretty good idea what each piece might be worth.

 

Here is why I asked I started my collection about 10 plus years ago, I have around 50 razors and some cups and brushes I know I didn't pay to much i would just like to put a value on it. I have some Rolls Razors and some fat boys , how do I post pictures on here ?

 

To post pics host them somewhere and insert an image link to them.

Over the last 7 months I have picked up quite a few razors. Anywhere from a toggle for $130 to $5 for a cased Sheraton. I have kept track of what I paid for them and kept a running average. It works out to around $25 per razor. That might be a good starting number unless they are all cased NOS. About half of mine are cased and I have a couple Rolls as well.

 

Man! Ask and you shall receive! If you have the time, in individual item by item evaluation should be in order.
Man!

I love razors!

 

If that is the whole collection, you don't have some Fatboys. You have a Fatboy.

Thank you Weeper Warrior as for the rolls razor i have the door I just had it off for the picture . Where can I find information out on them like what year and things like that ?

 

In Gillette razors some have letter date codes on the bottom of the base plate. The letter is the year the number is the quarter of the year it was made. The ones that don't have date codes you just get a general years made.

This is a link to Gillette dates and date codes.

The Schicks don't have any dates except general years made.

This is a link for Schick years made.

The Gem razors, I don't know but the case that you have the butterscotch handled Injector in is for the Bullet-tip Gem.

The Schick Krona is not on that link but the one you have is an early one. Some where in the 1960s I think.

 

@WeeperWarrior

Andrew, WW's resource list rocks. I'm not aware of one comprehensive site from vintage brushes, but we can help you identify many of them. It make take a little while, as we're not used to seeing so much vintage goodness in one place, but we love a good hunt!

 

I have honed some pretty good razor lot picture skills. DANG Ebay!

 

Crazy fast draw *pistol smoke*

Brush Time!


Andrew, your top row of shaving brushes are by Ever-Ready. The good news is that many ER brushes have a number stamped or engraved on the bottom. The bum news is that ER numbers aren't necessarily unique model numbers. There are visually identical brushes that have different numbers & very dissimilar brushes that carry the same number. This may or may not be related to manufacturing plants, or lot #s and era.

Because of the variation, I will only write down the model numbers I have seen in 2 or more sources.

Top row from L to R
- ER 100T
- ER "Hard Rubber Grip" (wood base) - no # (?)
- ER C40 or ER 150 (depending on age, ferrule)
- ER 75
- ER 100

 

thanks every one for all the info and help
