Did you guys notice this Schmachtenberg Bros. razor that recently sold on eBay for $696.62?! Unless I'm missing something and this razor was extremely rare, it looks like a case of a bidding war gone wild. I wish I could get these guys to bid on auctions that I list!
Ya I guess there was a bidding war, the seller must be happy.
Some collector could also have wanted it for the scales too...hard to tell.
Some collectors go absolutely ga ga over raised relief celluloid scales. They seek them out and seem to desire them over other razors. Scales first, blade second.

On some of these I wonder if the seller ever sees the money. :hmmm:
I'm a collector as well as a user , and my max bid on that razor would have been $0.00 . No collector in their right mind would even bid on that razor , in that condition .
I love the string holding the scales together.
That string was from the kite Benjamin Franklin flew in a lightning storm many a year ago.Quote:
