Thread: 1920's drug store humor and honing price list

From about 1920 is this little joke hand out with safety razor sharpening prices and Razor honing. Note to the pros of today it cost 25cents back then. Looks like you have to read from lower right, then it opens to top then prices on the back.

Wonderful piece of history and humour, your post made my day! No wonder there are those who say I was born a few generations too late.

Now figure out the inflation etc. and get back to those guys that hone about the 25cent honing…

From what I can gather (inflation data dot com), about $2.91. But you also need to take into account the demand and supply in the 20s vs today.

That's why I added the "etc."
You could also buy a Chev 1/2 ton for $650

That's a lot of honing.
