Price check on a vintage Gillette Red Tip

So I went perusing my local antique store and they had a Gillette Red Tip in excellent condition in a matching plastic case for $22.50. I'm not sure if that's a good price or not, so I figured I would ask you folks and see. I didn't get the serial on it, so general info on it will be helpful.

 

Great razor, good price if it is functionally sound and without major dings or dents.

 

Good condition with original case? Yeah that's a good price. Great shaver. A bit more aggressive than a regular superspeed.

 

It was really in great condition. I'm sure it will be there on Friday. This was in a tiny shop in a town of about 100 people. I also saw a GEM single edge as well at the same shop and an Ever Ready brush in the original package. They wanted $13.50 for the brush though, so I will probably pass on that.

 

Depending on the model that might be a great deal

 

Yes!

 

I'll take some pictures when I go back on Friday.

 

Don't be surprised if it's gone. I can't count how many times I said "Ah, it'll still be here" and...

 

The Red Tip will have a date code not a serial number.

 

True words

 

Yep. I know. My bad.

 

If it's gone, I'm hunting down one of you guys!

 

I hope it is still there for you. If it is, it is a great deal.

 

Yes!!! Buy it.

Just one of our many services here at TSD...enabling, de-enabling, the works.

 

I can tell youthat a month ago there was an Antique shop in North Texas that had one for $26 and it had corrosion on it. Fairly good shape but needed work. No case.
So as others have said, you better go get it before it is gone.

 

Haha. I won't be able to get back out there until Friday one way or the other. I'm sure I will be posting pictures on Friday of my new purchase. Should have my 65' 3 piece in by that time too. I will have gone from none to 2 in the period of a week. Anyone know anyway I can inject shave soap directly in the veins to avoid all of this chatter on the forums? Just kidding guys. I do appreciate all of the honest feedback and support.

 

That sounds like a very nice price.

 

If I saw a Red Tip in good shape for that price I'd buy it right now...and I already own one.
