I picked up this at the flea market last weekend for $10. It was in such good condition I didn't even try to get a discount, just pulled out the 10 and handed it over. The date indicates it was manufactured the 1st Q of 1959 (E 1 date code). I disassembled it just to clean out all the nooks and crannies and tried it out today. Most excellent shave!

Great find!
Fat boy, correct?
Surprised to read that you disassembled it - I heard they were a b*tch to put back together correctly. Enjoy!
You took it all apart and it went back together??!!
Yes, a Fat Boy!
Getting it back together was easy but it did take some time to get it apart. The good news was there wasn't any gunk or soap or crud inside the handle so it came apart without any problems. Being an earlier model the bottom had the screw on cap instead of the press on cap .
Interesting, I never had the courage to try. Will have to look at mine. Thanks
Some are easy,some are not.
Take Down: Fat boy comes apart
Great find, yeah. Enjoy your fatboy!
Wonderful find they are great DE's and enjoyed by many. She cleaned up really well I'm sure you'll enjoy years and years of great shaves with her.
Great score, enjoy that fat boy!
I like it! And only $10.00, good job!
Awesome find! Congrats on your fatboy!
That's a real beauty! Beats my best flea market buy!
early fatboys are cake to take apart. great find.. a typical fatboy these days fetches up to $60.
I have a 61 Fatboy. It's my go to DE. Nice score.
P.S. I also have a Harley 06 Fatboy, it's a bitch to shave with.
