Chrome Bar Handled New. What to do?

[heirkb]

I recently acquired a chrome bar handled New. I know it's not replated (got it at an antique fair type of thing).
It has a goodwill head. I just can't make up my mind as to what to do with this thing. I've heard it's very rare, so even though I want to sell it off since I don't use it, the rareness makes me wanna keep it as a piece of history that I probably will never get again.
What do you (especially experts like asylumguido and mr-razor) think this razor is worth? Here are some pictures

Wow, that's odd. I wonder how many chrome/ nickel plated NEWs were made.

I have a Nickel thin handle New - so that's at least two.

I have a thin handle one - I don't use it, but I have it! That's THREE!

(I don't think rarity does much for the value of these things - if I'm wrong, PLEASE, someone, make me an outrageous offer....)

Obviously, I'd advise: keep it! Coolness factor alone suggests you hang on to it, I think.


my two pence. scents. cents.

The slim ones are mega rare apparently.
I think it's rarity would impact price though. Presidents cost more than Aristocrats, right? And the prototype style president sells for even more cause it's rare. This is a cool razor though, so unless I get a good price or trade, I'm holding on to it

Take a look here, and here, and here (at Post #35). Rare, but not "un-findable". You see them on the Bay every now and then and they do go for a premium over the gold versions, but not usually by a huge margin.

Keep it. Enjoy it. Shave with it. Or sell it to me so I can do so!!!

I have seen a fair number of silver/chrome News, but I don't remember seeing any other silver Goodwills. Great find.

Yea, it has a Goodwill head, which is actually a stupid style of head, because you have to do the alignment work manually, as opposed to having the blade align automatically.

would you sell/trade it? if so just PM me
