I don't know a lot about it. It was patented in 1891. I have never seen one or even pictures really - so it is pretty rare I imagine.

Obviously though, there are some serious and knowledgeable collectors hunting on the Bay!

 

[cfriend]

Neat looking, for sure.

 

[skklog]

I just can't see 600+

 

[hypo_style]

I've certainly never seen one before (but then that's really not saying much)...

 

[DSB]

Anyone here claim it? I'd like to know more about it. This is the first time i have head of this razor, so I certainly can't say anything about the value.

 

[saltypete]

Wow.

[mdunn]

its a cool little device, but 600 does seem steep

 

[slantman]

You're sure its not a bottle opener

 

[curtis909]

It looks like key to my girl friends Chastity Belt. I was wondering were i left it....

 

[skklog]

You're sure its not a bottle opener

if it was I could see $600

I hear that they normally go for 8 bills. What a bargain!

Reminds me of a bear trap - but does it look more terrifying than my Star?

How in the world does someone use it. I would need an instruction manual.

 

[*King G*]

it just takes two rival collectors for a bidding war to end like that. Interesting- I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I'm antique hunting!

 

[thirdeye]

I missed this one, dang...I would have chased it for that price.....

 

[Gray Wolf]

I've bought decent cars for less money!

 

[mmack66]

My top bid was $611.01

 

[warlandsboy]

Looks like a chastity device.

The ones that come with instruction manuals cost more.
