Tom, you & a lot of us others.................................

What makes it worth $300? The aunt "Mary" story behind it or the fact that it is a auction piece. I find at auctions items will sell more than what there worth out of greed from the people bidding on it. They might not want it or know nothing about it. The problem is they have to have it for some driven reason.

There is my 2 cents on it

I gave it to someone as a PIF! To get them into straights!

I actually expected something 7/8+ when you said "big'ol greaves"

It's wider than all of my 6/8 Harts. So my assumption is 7/8.

Lots of old Greavses are very 'long' razors, so size is disproportionate to what most are used to seeing.
Mr. Greaves shall cut your ear. ISFE

The size is a little odd compared to all my other so I knew it looked a different.

Just got a B.J.Eyre & Co Late W.Greaves & Sons, and it's just the contrary

A short, but quite large razor
