    Thanks for any input.
    No one is going to be able to tell you, its against forum rules. You could look for sold items on ebay to see what they are selling for.

    Hi!
    Welcome to the forum!

    Unfortunately evaluations aren't allowed here. Perhaps someone with an idea of the value could PM you. To be honest, while it's a great shaver, it's pretty much run of the mill! I wouldn't know what to charge to sell one, but the real value is sentimental!

    Hey Roy,

    Here's a link to the company history. Since it has Bartlett on it, it can't be any older than 1882.

    Some more info.

    The company is still around, only it's now known as TRU-VALUE.

    Thanks Willie!

    While I was pretty sure of the dateline I had questions about the age due to the celluloid scales and a gracious member helped me with the history of when it started to be used!

    My friend had thought that it had only been his fathers but I'm pretty sure that it had been at least his Grandfather's razor!

    Unfortunately my friend gave up on learning the art but I'd still like to see if those pretty scales can be replicated so that the blade won't suffer a horrible death!
