Thread: Fil(h)armonica Doble Temple goes for 110 bucks!

Thats right. Misspelled Doble Temple sells for well under $350. What a steal for whoever took that one.

Mislabeled never helps. That's also the smaller #12, which usually doesn't sell for as much. The ones that really fetch the big bucks are the bigger Barber Dura's which are, iirc, 7/8 or thereabouts.

I was high bid at $31 until last 30seconds. Saw one with wear on it go for $20 the other day and thought for a minute that I might win. What do I need a second Fil for, I wondered.

I've been told my reliable sources, that their are counterfits out there, "Mispelled"?
I'd be careful guys.

and some real garbage out there too.
Check this one out, it may have started off it's life as a #14, but more like a #12 now.

I thought the Filly #12 was a haircuitting, not a face shaving model. One of those guys with a lot of NOS Fillies was selling perfect, new haircutting Fillies, and they weren't even going for $50, much less $350.

As for this razor, I actually saw the listing on eBay, but the description looked a little off to me, because it describes the blade as a 6/8, but the photo looks more like a 5/8 or less.

Anyway, hope it works well for whoever bought it.

I'm almost sure the Fillies made for hairdressers are #10s. At any rate the #12s are definitely shavers, excellent ones. They're 5/8 – pretty much the standard for mid-20th-century straights, though people seem to like their Fillies big.
