    So Joe public pays 6 dollars in 1900's so its safe to say a daily laborer would not be browsing the etched ivory models. Looks like Darry would shopping in the bargain basement even back then. Curses!!! Id be a peasant even in the past. Let me go find a tin can lid to shave with.

    Yes, quite an expensive razor. Everyone made out like a bandit, with exception of the laborers and,of course, the poor elephant!
    Great info, Neil. Nice to have a date to go with it as well!

    Thanks, Wullie! I know you don't favor the thin grinds, but this one is GREAT!

    Damn, too bad I was late for this party. That sure is a beauty Tom, very unique! Great score. I have very rarely seen etched ivory.
