20$ for an Aristocrat 1934 & a Red Tip Rocket, both in very good condition. A very interesting encounter, I was even offered a cup of tea and a cookie
Mick; Great find, they are gorgeous! I welcome the posting of any face to face transactions; Glad you added to them.Never found any DE or SE razors at antique or flee markets.
I did find a NOS Simpsons butterscotch in the 50's white box with all the paperwork one time though
Wish i had some of your luck,all nice looking razors
Any pics?One day I went into an antique mall I'd been to many times before and went to the case hhhhwhere I usually find the shaving stuff. Best prior find was a Fatboy.
I looked, then did a double-take; a cased Darwin Deluxe. I happily paid the $30 price tag. I also took home a near-perfect Stahly live blade that day from the same store.
Any pics?
I posted a bunch of them in a thread a few years ago about Darwin razors. Do you remember? I even posted comparisons with the travelling Darwin I had in my hands at the time.
I've sold the razor, so I don't have it anymore.
Maybe you can dig up those old posts and paste those pics back into this thread? I'm no good at searching; you're the master.
No way. ..where?D-1 toggle w/o case for $1.50

In a small shop in a coastal town in Maine. I actually was walking out without seeing anything and the clerk asked if I found anything. I told him I was looking for old safety razors and he grabbed this off the shelf I had just walked by. Price tag 1.50 so a total of 1.57 after taxes. I had no clue what it was until I checked it out here. Boy was I surprised.No way. ..where?
