    I can't tell you what it's worth but I can say that they are excellent shavers. I have one, 1/4 hollow, 6/8 that shaves extremely well.

    John Sellers & Sons 1820 - 1953, 151 Arundel Street Sheffield.

    Price appraisals aren't allowed, but I can tell you that possessing a family heirloom like that is worth far more than whatever price you'd get for it.

    I have a Sellers & Sons that I like very much. It's a heavy, heavy almost-wedge that takes a ridiculously smooth edge. Get it in shape and enjoy!

    As northpaw pointed SRP does not give appraisals. Try ebay 'completed items' for the named razor. An obscure brand but they do turn up. Someone with some historical info may be along in this thread.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Is it me, or is this thread in the wrong forum, shouldn't this be in the "Razors" forum?
    Why doesn't the taco truck drive around the neighborhood selling tacos & margaritas???
