WOWZERS! I've never seen so many gold razors in one place! I have a Lady Gillette in gold on my wish list.
I don't own any gold razors...yet, but you can check out my Epiphone '56 Goldtop Reissue Les Paul in my avatar :whacky098
I must have missed this post earlier. Wow. That is a nice collection of gold! It looks like my wish list! Well, at least I got one of them now!
yeah, I wouldn't mind a nickel toggle either. Actually I have seen a couple 195s go in the 200 ball park, which I think is reasonable for such a razor.
@200 I'd buy without hesitation! I've seen them going for 3 times that I stopped bidding on one @450 once.. it went for 630! EDIT: 2 right now on the bay, one for $1595 and one for $3000... laughable!
Here is one that a B&B member recently got a steal on: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=300239712058 and this one is actually relisted with a buy it now of $3K. http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-GILLETT...ryZ21141QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (byrgirl is reynoldsart's buying identity. He is a crook in my book.) Keep your eyes out, you will snag one.
Even though this thread seems to have petered out, I still wanted to flash my golden beauties. I didn't even realize how many I had until I did this photo shoot.
