Thanked: 1What's this Double Duck worth?
I was in an antique shop a week or so ago and came across this Double Duck SR. The shop owner didn't know too much about it - all she really said was it's got real bone handles.
The nose looks like it's had a bad grind job - it was very asymmetrical, uneven and sloppy. The blade also looks fairly short. This along w/ the and nose job makes me wonder if someone had ground it shorter. The blade was in decent shape overall - not too much pitting and discoloration. The edge was fairly flat but not perfect. There were no jimps. The pins were solid but the blade hinged very loosely. Didn't look like it was hitting the scales when closed though. This was definitely not shave ready; all it would really need is a good grind on the bevels, some cleaning of the blade, and a fresh edge. It was in need of a good restore.
She wanted $120, and said she was having a 20% off sale that day. Seems quite spendy to me, but I'm not sure what vintage razors are worth.
Any feedback you all can offer is much appreciated. Cheers! mpp
