    So I ended up going home with these two. Figured I would let the wife try the bigger brush as it might work better for her legs. Prob overpaid a bit for it but oh well.

    I got the BB hoping it was a birth year and qtr. Turns out its the correct year but not quarter, so now the debate over should I keep it or not as I already have another BB.

    What's a legit selling price for an A1 BB? Saw a handul on ebay but there were some crazy numbers 45-69 bucks.

    Thanks
    Steve

    It depends really. Some people wait along time before they can finally get their birth year and quarter. Some just only have the birth year. I say keep it. If you need to sell one, sell the other. For vintage adjustables unless they are in rough shape, you can easily start them off at $19.99. Let the bidders set the pricing . If you paid top dollar for it and just want your money back, you can do a bin. Make sure you add 15% to the price you paid and shipping should be about $3.

    Black Super Speed is an M4
    Red Tip is C4

    Now I gotta clean up my other Red Tip find from Vaca to see which one to keep!

    I keep getting Red tips ... not enjoy then shave then sell. I've done this 3x; I like the weight, but find the aggression more than I like. I just had Cap Murphy fix my birth year and quarter SS (N3). It was really messed up, but looks great now.

    That looks great! I got the SS I just picked up in hopes of finding somone with an A3. Haven't decided what to do with the BB may try and trade that away too, not sure. I was happy just to find a 1980, first time I've found one in the wild!

    Found these today. Really wanted the 40s SS in a box as it was in very nice shape but just too expensive. The Henkel straight looked very nice, blade was in good shape but 39 bucks. Also saw lucky tiger brand old glass thoughy that was funny, loved the metal stopper!

    Lastly the brush... it says omega but only had an M on it. The handle is cheap plastic but I think thw knot is badger. Does anyone recognize this brush? If its badger at 10 bucks Ill get it and probably salvage the knot as it looks brand new. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Saw this handsome Wilbert Cutlery Chicago Straight today too. Blade was straight and felt shave ready. Didn't recognize the name though.[​IMG][​IMG]

    The super speed razor was in the wrong case. It's overpriced.

    Thought the same thing. Not sure but that looked like a new case or something from that era.
