Auction Site Find... This is Funny!

[5whiskey]

I had to share this when I saw it. I can't remember but I think we aren't allowed to link directly to auction sites. Suffice it to say, this is marketed as "Shave Ready" and is apparently a "George Wostenholm & Son" from "France" on a very popular auction site. Gents I know we have all seen some doozies on the auction sites, but this is definitely top 5 of the craziest ones that I've seen. I get it, people advertise as shave ready without really knowing because other auctions do... but c'mon.

Of course, at least the seller isn't listing at $60.00 with half the blade chipped off. But still... I don't see anyone wanting this. Image attached (and if you want to read the full description you probably know how to look for it).

One of my favorites was a listing of a razor
with two large rat bite sized chips in the blade,
and unremarkable well worn scales.

Listed as
Condition: Needs new blade

And this, gentlemen, is why we don't go back to the 1k stone when we don't need to.

Hot Damn, I've got the ultra RARE NOS Bengall in that style ..... minus scales

Seriously, I live and breathe outside the box, thus, this extremely RARE NOS Bengal [minus scales] is a utility knife, damn good edge, no flex, has been copper plated ten times, had the tang and grip area heated red hot a stainless loop silver soddah'd on and not there now, has sliced my fingers three times, goes round corners well no flex.

OK, to put it for sale? na! A: I don't sell, B: I would be embarrassed to even ask for postage if i gave it away!

One day I will look for ''old stuff'' and make a fortune because I've never seen it before, no one else has either therefore it must be worth a mint

To be honest, I’ve been thinking to make a new thread only to post these “findings”.

Here’s what I found earlier this week, for which the seller was expecting a high price:

Did a two minutes search and found two more razors like this:

The heat treat may be slightly off, but the the tang is improved so I’d say it all evens out in the end.

That's a Lisa Simpson bit.

Look Dad I made fish sticks!​

They're burned on the outside​

but they're frozen on the inside​

so it balances out!!!​

“Rare”

“Rare”

I would go one step further and say "Very Rare"
After all how many have you ever seen with that exact same shape? ... yeah none ... hence this one is Very Rare !!
