What's new

Please help me identify.... (and a few extra pics of my new shaving mug and more)

I've been scouring the antique stores over the past few weeks and have come across the following:

The first is a cased something? What is it? What kind of price should I offer?

I think the next is an OC New but I could be wrong.

The next is what looks like a travel injector type razor. Again, what is it? How much?

This one is a fat handled tech, correct? Was $6 a decent price?

This next photo is my haul over the last weekend. There are two razors in the front which I need help identifying. The one on the left looks like a military issue open comb razor with a ball tech handle and "Property US ARMY" printed on the underside of the head. The other razor is an open comb ball tech traveling razor but is there a name for it? Was $15 a decent deal for both razors?

The last picture is of my "new" shaving mug. My dad gave it to me since he no longer uses it but it was made by his sister.

The first set is a Pocket Edition Set. These aren't too common and depending on condition, $15-50 is fair. The set looks complete and is a nice shaver to top it off. The end caps are thinner than similar OC's of the era.
The 2nd razor is a NEW variant. It looks like one of the Red/Black editions based on the handle. Great shaver to boot. Worth about $10-20 without case. The injector is an early version. Typically, if it's without a case and depending on condition, I've seen these sell between $5-20. I haven't used one so I can't comment on performance. The Tech you have is a smooth operator and for $6 is a bargain, $5-15 is about average for Techs.
Very nice razors. I'd try to get the Pocket Edition and NEW, those are nice to have. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to go to Colorado myself......
 
Thanks Krona. I passed on the Pocket Edition because the guy wanted $30 and I wasn't sure what a fair price was for it. I bought the NEW and Tech. I passed on the injector.

Anyone have any idea about the other two razors in the 2nd to last pic?
 
The last two razors are a ball-end Old-Type and a Milady Decollette ball-end Old-Type. If you can, I'd urge you to go for the Pocket Edition. You might kick yourself later if you don't. This is my RAD speaking.
 
I believe that the second and third razor pix are of a Tech New Long Comb. It is a coincidence that I used mine this morning for the first time after having it for several months. It should polish up beautifully and is an excellent shaver! You should probably be able to get it for $20 or less.
 
Pocket editions are pretty rare. You should buy it at $30, for sure. If you don't like it, you could turn it over and get all the money back pretty easily.
 
Alright alright, I'll stop by there today or tomorrow.

What do the ball-end Old-Type and a Milady Decollette ball-end Old-Type normally go for?
 
Ball-end Old-Type in that condition is about $5-10 and the Milady in that condition without a case is about the same. $15 for both is reasonably fair and not a rip-off by any means.
:thumbup: You done good!
 
Thanks again Krona! I figure if I can get most of my razors for <$10 then I can't get ripped off too much.

I think I'll make up a story about the Old type that involves a soldier in the Band of Brothers or something interesting like that. As opposed to some guy who was drafted, issued this razor and used it before he was kicked out for some random reason.
 
I've only passed on the injector and pocket... and I'm going to fix that today!

I'm surprised no one has commented on the mug.

Your knowledge of shaving hardware never ceases to amaze me...
 
We were too enamored by the razors to comment.:lol:

Nice mug! Especially since it was made by your aunt and used by your father.

Ha, good point. Thanks to all for helping me figure out what those razors are. I'm going to stop by a few more places again to see if they've updated their stocks of razors.
