    Default Should I buy one of these razors?

    I went to an antiques shop today just out of curiosity and noticed they had a few razors. Many of them were priced quite high (~$100 for a G. Wostenholm with oxidation and pitting) but I'm sure I can get them to drop a bit. I found three that I thought I could work with:


    Case 133 Full Hollow Red Imp



    Morris 132 Wedge Red Imp




    T. Noonan Bengall (There were actually two other Noonans that I didn't take pics of. One said Arabic on the tang and the other, Harvard).

    Both the Case and the Morris seem to be in decent condition (to me anyways but I'm a newbie) though the scales seem to have shrunk and it's a snug fit to close them. The blades of both actually rub against the white wedge by the pin. Also, the Morris Red Imp's scales are pink now instead of red. You can see a closed pic of it in one of the Case pictures (below).


    So...what do you guys think a fair price for each of these would be? You can actually see the price the store is asking on a couple of the pictures. Should I bother trying to purchase one of them at all? Help please!

    Thanks.
