Thread: Jesse James Razor?

For a sale that appears to be high profile, a few questions pop up in my mind.

1) Why is this up for auction and no mention of why a historical society is not trying to purchase it?

2) Why are the images so small? One would think with a highly desired piece of history it would show detail for high bidding. The seller has blurred images of a few of the auctions. If the seller can afford to obtain these artifacts, frame them all nearly the same and take a picture in the living room then you can probably afford to have a professional photo that is larger.

3) Who authenticated this? Most high bidders would want this information to seek out further information from the authenticator. Further bringing to light the origins of the razor and who may have actually handled it.

4) The seller is selling a Charlie Chaplin cane?! This would have been snagged by Robert Downey Jr. in moments.

5) The seller has nearly the same framing for most of his pieces.

These are most likely replicas.

No, I don't have one. There is a guy on Eboy unloading items from the collection of John Hart who played the Lone Ranger for a season. Quite a few straights and they come with authentication.
