Hello i am fround Georgia and in tha last few weeks have been cleaning out my god fathers house, during which i found 9 old straight razors. I have no clue about these. I also dont know whether to keep them or sell. If i sell what is a good price. I will get some pics asap.
Yes, pics would help. We don't do appraisals here. If you want to try selling them you would have to ebay them.
If you decide to keep them (which I hope you do) there is lots of info in the wiki about getting started and in the classifieds under member services there are member listed who can restore and/or hone those up for you if they can be.

Looks like a good razor. You have to be a member for a while to post classified's. I just honed up a John Engstrom Jr razor yesterday...
At this point i am trying to learn about what i found, i have more pics just have to get them up, 9 in total.
If your first pic is an indication of what else is there, you've got yourself a great collection of razors to learn how to really shave on.
Details on specific razors can usually be found with a little poking around. However, as mentioned before we don't do appraisals here as the bent of this community is to help people learn the ins and outs of straight and/or wet shaving. When it comes to learning how to use them, or determining if they're usable, this is your place. I hope you'll take the time to dig and look through the pages here and give straight shaving a shot. I haven't been at it real long, but it's a far more gratifying process than I would have ever thought possible; both for budget and for simple experience of shaving.
Best of luck!
