You make a great point. I would pay an awful lot to have some of my grandfather's things that were given away when he died. And if that weren't possible something just like would be almost as good.

They are extremely rare and are the Holy Grail for Gillette collectors of which there are many. I've seen plenty of good condition Toggles go for $600-$700 so I'm not surprised at the price. If it was in NOS condition with the original case it would be $2000+
Actually the same razor, apparently the owners of shifty looking, brassy bottom dialers see the supply of fools is dwindling, I need to see if I can spiff up the rare 1965 middle dial Fatboy and take some shots ..
Apparently, the buyer in auction first joined Badger & Blade, asked for re-plating recommendations, and has relisted the razor for 2X. PT Barnum comes to mind ..

I wonder how had that would be to recreate. Just a thought(;-)
