    Default Would you have bought it?

    Was at a local antique shop earlier and came across a decent OBM A. Kastor and Bros straight with wooden box. Not sure why, but I decided to pass. They wanted $26 for it.

    I probably would have. I like the box more than anything though.

    I have lots of dirty razors that need work, but that box intrigues me.

    With the box, very likely.

    Probably not. I have more razors than I can shake a stick at and another round point from an obscure maker would add nothing to my collection/accumulation. The box does nothing for me.

    I would have bought it. Wouldn't care much for the razor and would offer it up or perhaps modify it to my liking.
    You don't have to be insane to do the things that I do, but it helps.

    I would have haggled over the price, but would have paid full price in the end if I had to.

    After restoring the razor I would strip and restore the box. It would be beautiful and well worth the price.

    The razor looks ok, and the box is prety cool but it is damaged, originally the lid when closed had a little piece of wood that locked it in place by sliding it down on the cover cut out slot. Its a familiar design traditionnaly name a grease box/ tallow box.
