Price excessive if for razors, not Tiffany pieces which are out of my arena anyway - and they're framebacks. I personally like framebacks but they don't seem to have the value of 'normal' blades. I think these are, like most old stuff, worth exactly how much people are willing to pay. I did see a razor on eBay not too long ago with bicycling scenes on the (pewter? silver?) scales that went for $500+ - so maybe this pair isn't so madly priced after all!
