'Original and only true pipe razor' does not mean the sole pipe in existence!

THE ORIGINAL&ONLY TRUEPIPE RAZOR,GEORGE WOSTENHOLM&SON - eBay (item 390251134765 end time Nov-10-10 11:40:26 PST)

Bwahahahahaha this is hilarious. I think the seller took the marketing words of old George seriously in that this is a one of kind, judging by the fact that he is trying to invite a top notch offer for a bucket of rust.

I know, I know, you dont ask you dont get but what fool would buy at this price.

This is just another example of why I think only SRP members should be able to view our Classifieds, or pictures anyway at least. Then it would stop all the idiots out there using them as valuation guides.

Does a wise seller check the completed auctions for pricing or is a ***** born every minute?

There were a few manufacturers that made pipe razors, but most commonly it refers to a G. Wostenholm (or G. Wostenholm & Sons) pipe razor.
Pipe razors are no different than any other razor other than that they have a pipe stamped into the tang.

Ok, just part of the brand-name? Got it, though unfortunately it doesn't seem to make the ad any more sane!
