I've seen many different things referred to as "New Old Stock" - some I agree with and some I disagree with. I'm wondering what all you guys think.

To me, NOS means that an item is exactly as it was when it was purchased, and that it is a vintage item. I don't really consider the packaging, though. So, for example, a razor is only NOS if she has never been honed or used in any way.

The only possible exception my own definitiov is the NOS Friodurs that are floating around, because they may be new grinds from old blanks. I call them NOS even though I don't know if they are actually Old Stock per se.
