Thread: Finding Out When Razor Was Made

Hello All,
Does anyone know where i can find how old a razor is meaning like the one I have and finding out a price of it would be thanks I have a filarmonica #14 doble temple,was in my uncles basement,box has a spanish postage stamp on it,thanks all

The price will depend primarily on the condition of the thing. Even the "best" of razor brands can be worth next to nothing if they're in poor working condition. As for dating it, I'm not too familiar with that brand of razor, so I won't be much help there. If you could post a picture of it, that'd make all the difference. It's a lot easier to guage what a razor's potential worth is and even date it that way.

Hope these picts will help-

heres a few more picts my picture taking is that great hope these help

Classicshave.com still has a few of the NOS Filarmonicas, for sale on their site, the Doble Temple's are going for about $100, However your's is of nicer quality...... but at least this will start you off on the search. Your's also loooks to be a slightly larger blade, pics can be decieving though, that adds value also....
These tend to be very smooth shavers if you haven't already tried that edge BTW

Thank you appreciate your help, found it in my uncles basement he is 85yrs old thought it was cool also has an spanish postage stamp on box-thought this was a good find lol thanks again

the blade on this razor measures 3 2/8 inches long width is 1 inch seems sharp lol i accidently cut myself with it,? if i sell this on e-bay should i put a resrve on it thanks again

I don't think anyone here would try selling that on eBay if they found it in their grandpas basement, most of us would be honing 'er up and having a shave with it!

That said, I don't think it's going to need a reserve on it, it should realise a pretty decent price.

thanks lol I tried shaving with razor before about a month could never get hang of it always tearing my neck up,so from then on its the barber for me.I will pay a professional to take care of me lol thanks again

It might take you a little time to learn to use and maintain the razor but i find it very satisfying to use my grandfather's 2 razors as well as my father's 2 straight razors... a nice connection to the past and a way of honoring the skills and principles they both taught me.

if you are going to list it on ebay... just for the cash, that is your choice... just post some great pictures of both sides of the blade and scales closeups of all the markings ... and let us know what the item number is.... or you could list it in the b/s/t forum and let one of us just buy it direct.
