Martin, you're incredible!
Apparently he has the one with the blue glass beads along with the 7 link gold chain & treble hook. He has a rare lure but I don't know if it is worth $15k! Perhaps it is worth the starting bid but I'm no collecting fisherman. I guess I need to start Googling some of these things that some people want high prices for. I wonder what it is worth?

Yes I was going to comment I don't know about you but I know squat about fishing lures. Maybe it is worth a lot.

It very well might be. I was thinking of showing a guy I know that one. He knows about things like that!

Seller Notes:
chipped blade,some patina on the blade

And in the description:

It has a beautiful tortoise shell bakelite handle...

A razor doesn't get that serious of cell rot from either tortoise OR bakelite. It gets it from celluloid.

...some patina...

I love to fish, but I'm not in it for the antiques factor... Surely that's just stupidity, if it was really worth that much the guy would talking directly to people interested in it, not putting it on ebay.

Similarly, anyone that serious about fishing antiques (and that cashed up) would be talking to people directly, not trawling (like the pun? ) ebay looking for items that rare. I mean they might be on ebay but not looking for things like that surely... That would be a stumble upon moment.

$15K for a lure? That's a bit mad... I've got some Erik Anton Berg chisels, maybe I should put them up with a BIN for $1K each

Nice pun, Andrew.

I swear, some of these sellers need a one time meeting with a guy named George Maledon. He was an a friend of Judge Isaac Parker.

Still chugging away at this thread of education, albeit viewed through a negative lens, I see. All caught up yet? No rush, btw... "ballot fatigue" might kick in & ya won't remember nearly as much after that point .

This one is the icing on the cake!

Wade and Butcher Celebrated Sheffield huge 9/8" large shave ready straight razor: Winning bid:US $1,075.00
And it has cracked scales!

Oh my....... Unbelievable! It's a huge razor and sure looks clean, but does anyone else think the heel looks way off? Almost like it was ground away and into the stabilizer..just looks ugly, to me. I would be at it with a Dremel the moment I got it. LOL (seriously, I would)

Not too long ago, there was a NOS W&B up on auction, went for about $850, maybe less. An absolute stunner, that one... This is nowhere close to it, I am not sure if you guys caught that one. Worth every penny, unlike this piece.
