    Hey all! Just wanted to see if any of these would be worth buying for the price they're being sold? What do you think? Not even sure what the last one is? The guys said it's a Mustache cup?

    What were they asking for the str8 with the decorations on the scales?

    No way would I pay $40 for the perfecto, in that condition.

    The "mustache" cup is actually a scuttle. Add hot water and soak your brush and a lather bowl to keep your lather warm.

    I've personally never had any luck at antique stores:(

    That's what I figured about the perfecto. I wasn't too interested in it anyways. For the one with the decorated scales they were only asking $5, but when he flipped the box over I think it said Made in China, not sure in the brand name or anything like that.

    The GEMS and the Schick Eversharp are fairly priced.

    And I figured the "mustache" cup was a scuttle, I just wanted to make sure I didn't say something wrong even though I had never heard of mustache cups haha

    I didn't even notice the camera haha. Is it a pretty good vintage camera?

    the Tuckaway may be a deal. It's not cheap, but it looks complete, and it's a terrific shaver.
    I'd offer less, see way they say.
    I love mine.

    That's the one I really want to make an offer on. I just got offered a job as an airline pilot and I though that would be perfect for tossing in my flight bag and taking with me on all my trips. Would you say offering $30 is too low?

    No I'd be happy paying 30.
    Look for a mark that looks like a g in a d. The ones with this mark are a little more sought after.
    Excellent travel razor (with a safe added)
    Here's mine, hope the g in d chimes in clear. 20170719_211048_resized.jpg 20170719_210956_resized.jpg 20170719_211008_resized.jpg 20170719_210929_resized.jpg 20170719_211038_resized.jpg

    That looks like a great set! :) I might have to see if SWMBO will let me go in and get in a little back and forth with the owner. I'm liking it more and more

    Looks like they're asking for $75 for the camera! [​IMG][​IMG]

    Should be able to see the price tag behind the scuttle in the mirror

    Yours looks great! I talk swmbo into letting me get it for $35 because we found her a granite rolling pin at the same store
    Now I just gotta find out how to clean it up. Any ideas? I'll post pictures soon.
    Also found this German razor there, but don't know anything about it [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Flitz metal polish and a toothbrush, be careful, the handles are known to split.
