I noticed this auction with a few hours to go and figured I'd place a bid.

Old Shaving Straight blade Barber Knives - eBay (item 380116959013 end time Apr-14-09 17:12:25 PDT)

I wasn't expecting to win considering my lowball bid, but I guess no one else was willing to take a chance on razors that didn't show the condition of the blades. When I saw a Temperite and a Spike I figured it was worth a shot. The Temperite I own now is the best razor of the bunch, and I hear good things about Spikes.

Rust is evident on the spines, but I'm hoping (though not counting on it) that the edges may still be in good condition. For the price I paid I'm not going to be overly distressed if the both turn out to be dogs. However, if one of them turns out to be a gem I figure I ended up with a good deal.

Fingers crossed...
