As Toggle prices spiral upward (one went for over $100 on the Bay today), I'm glad I got mine a month ago...Took this picture installed on a snappy stand, complete with a black badger re-knotted brush
Today's Toggle

Hell, $100 might be a pretty good deal depending on the condition. A mint toggle could easily surpass $200.
Very nice! If I hadn't found one at an antique shop, I don't think I'd ever own one. Normally, I don't even care for yellow gold much. But the Toggle is just such a neat razor that I have a hard time parting with it. Maybe someday when RAD calls me elsewhere, I will. But for now, I sure am glad to own one.
Still looking for that "green eyed jealousy" emoticon!! I want a toggle soooo bad!!!!!
Soooo bad? "How much" you want one is a question only YOU can "afford" an answer to.
Pretty simple, really!
Still looking for that elusive (affordable) shave grade toggle....brassy is fine by me...I just can't afford a nice one....Missed a few on the BST by minutes....someday....
Great Toggle porn....but I got to ask...what is the date code on that one?
Thanks,
Thanks,

F-4, as this was the only code for the 9 position toggle.
What's the difference between the Toggle with a red dot versus one with a black dot over the position indicator on the adjuster knob?
Show us more pics! That looks to be in pretty fine shape!

Sorry, but all the number paint is gone, and there is wear on the doors/guards....
Guess I'll have to live with it....darn gold/lacquer finishes!
It would never make the cut for a "Cedar People" Auction
You are shaving with a Toggle...How many folks can say that.....Don't worry about the finish, just enjoy the ride.
I think you may find that there was at least one other year they made a nine position gold Toggle.
Here is a D-1 from Achim's website.
Also I have seen advertising recently that shows a nine position Gold Toggle for sale in 1957, but I have not seen a "C Toggle" yet.

I've only seen red dot Toggles Harry. Or maybe I'm just not following you??

But someone else on B&B ( or an Ebay Seller?) said that there was only an F-4 Toggle for Christmas 1960...and the Toggle with 1-5 adjustments was a limited market, serial numbered model in 1957....and its instruction manual showed 1-9 dial numbers!?

Is there a toggle-ologist out there who can clear this up?
A toggle at a reasonably price (less than 3 figures) has so far eluded me. I'll keep on searching though. I'm sure I'll find one, one day.
My Toggle's are D-1 and F4 and both are 9 number adjusters (with Red Dots).
Two Toggles! Too Much!
Three toggles actually because one is broken!
