    Default 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.Name:  img020.jpg

    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.

    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
