Okay, so even assuming you're a big fan of il Duce...
A zero feedback seller, blurry picture, one-sentence description and absolutely no documentation/verification. (You'd think he'd have least spelled Mussolini's name right.)
Benito Mussilini straight razor - eBay (item 320306631022 end time Oct-08-08 09:05:45 PDT)
I can hardly hold myself back!!
well i just save some $$$
that seller only ships to USA:hmmm:
The sad thing is some poor sap will end up with this piece of "history".....and pay a hell of a lot more than $500 for it, too.:thinking:
Well, the poor chap will end with a piece of something. Not necessairly history... :roflmao
No description or nothing. And a razor from Mussilini? hmmm........
I couldn't resist writing to ask why he thinks it was "made for Mussolini". Here's his response:
"His first name is engraved on the beginning of the blade, not the cutting edge, and his picture, with his last name under it is engraved on the ivory handle. It was acquired at an Itlaian barber supply shop called Alcamisi. At one time the owners were Mussilini supporters."
He could at least offer free shipping :roflmao
I've got a toilet seat that was used by Stalin himself. How do I know it was his? I bought it from a Russian guy who was really old. Maybe I should throw that up on Ebay. What should I start the bidding at? $750?
No one bought it, I wonder why?:thinking::roflmao
Fear not, it's been relisted (this time with at least a bit of description).
You have another chance. Act FAST!!
FREE SHIPPING! Thats what I was waiting for!:y
he states that the scales are ivory. i doubt that
look at the way the side of the scale rounds it looks a lot thicker than ivory usualy is
i think it's some sort of plastic
JP Alacamisi Razors This one is the Imperatore

Just for S&G
PM me if ya don't know what that means :w
Well then, it all makes sense...
Benito must have picked it up when he and Adolf made their famous shopping trip to Schenecttady back in 1941.
That's good enough for me. I'm placing my bid!
Apparently, Mussolini had two of these, as he now has two listed. One with a starting bid of 400, the other with 450. Oh, and he's listing a Mr. Mago doll for 200, as well. Man, I've been selling my stuff waaaay too cheap, I guess. I have a geniune Mr. T Starter Kit Gold Chain I think i'll list for a couple grand. :)
