1960s Aristocrat - Fluke?

[cwlsmith]

A little while back, I bought this 1961 Aristocrat, with the case and original blade case for $6 at an antique store here in New Mexico.



I've started to look on eBay for certain Gillettes I want, and came across the same Aristocrat, nearly identical to my picture, and it ended up going for $135.

Was this a fluke auction, or did I seriously nab mine for a great price?

Great price indeed. Congratulations!

Not a fluke- you got a great deal!

You got a fabulous deal on one of the finest shaving and looking razors ever. $125 is the average price around here and quite a bit more in Europe.

 

[dougr]

Oh, I'll give you $12 for the razor and you can double your money............

I'll Give your 24 for it and I'll pay for shippping.

Hell, I'll make it $48 and come get it.

OK, maybe I won't come get it.

That price is about the middle of the road. A few auctions that will ship overseas can go even higher.

Not a fluke- you got a great deal!

Phenomenal! I got mine in very similar shape for $25, and I stole mine. You stole yours and kicked the door down on the way out.
