Thread: Are these any good?

Good morning to you all. I have stumbled on some razors of my dad's that i have put up for auction on eBay. Someone last night said they might be worth more than is being bid, given the markings.

Set of cut throat razors - collectors item | eBay

There are nine straight edge razors - and in my utter ignorance I referred to them on eBay as 'cut throat' so sincere apologies if that offends, it isn't meant to, just shows my lack of knowledge.

The blades are all marked:

1. Joseph Allen & Son, Sheffield
2. Thomas Rudd & Sons, Sheffield; Coma Trade Mark
3. In a presentation box, wooden and engraved, we have:
   
   1. A Crown with GR below, PALMER St James's St.
   2. A Crown with GR below, PALMER St James's St
   3. A Crown with WR below, PALMER St James's St
   4. Joseph Haywood & Compy, Makers Sheffield
   5. F West late PALMER cutler to Her Majesty No .. St James's St
   6. HF P.P.H. The Dutchess of Kent & Princess Victoria
   7. HF P.P.H. The Dutchess & Princess Victoria
   
   

Any guidance or suggestions would be gratefully received.

Current bid is £37.50.

Thank you
Ian

A couple pictures of all the razors, including the blades, would help develop interest. No one will buy if they can't see what they are getting.

Thanks for that living on the edge - will get it sorted!

One other point, it is not in your interest to post live auction links, as more people may get interested and should a bidding war ensue you may end up paying more than what you wanted or even be out of the bidding if it goes over your limits.
It is safer just to post the pic of the razors and ask if the condition is acceptable.

Good luck

Actually, it is in his interest because he is the one selling the razors.
