Thread: Straight Boxes

I was wondering if there was any want for the small boxes the razor originally came in. My father picked me up a bunch of stuff at a flea market. It included numerous razor boxes and a Valet Autostrop. Some of the boxes are in really good shape and other are beat up pretty badly.

Do you have a Bangel box?

No I don't believe so. Some I can't even read but there are some boxes for Bokers, Premier, Feinster Silberstahl, Triton, Joseph Feist, and one that I can't make out the first word "________ Barber College Special"

My guess is "Moller"

Do you have any pics ?

Some people collect boxes by themselves.

Do you intend just giving them away? If not please take this conversation to a PM.

More or less I was just looking for some information on them and if there was any demand for them in general. Thanks to everyone for the information. I think I'm going to keep them for right now until I figure what ones I would like to keep.

To take this thread in a slightly different direction and one that doesn't require a PM, I just wanted to share this. Someone gave me a handful of boxes without razors. As a means of expanding my razor collection, I started collecting the razors that go in them. This is not all that easy, as some are somewhat rare, such as New England Razor Co. I have only two orphaned boxes left, a Shumate and a King Cutter, neither of which should be too difficult. However, I also have razors with no boxes and some strange force is compelling me to find boxes to go with them! (I need a Diamondine and a Revisor box). I suspect the DSM IV would classify this as a rare atypical form of RAD. Does anyone else suffer from this affliction?
