What's new

vibrating razor?

I was at an "antique" show today and made a few scores. I've posted them in the Score thread. But I have a question as I'm so new at this. The guy had a couple of razors that you wind up ( twist the bottom of the handle) and they vibrated. They had a very heavy and thick handle and I thought the idea was a ,, well,,, hoot! I'm sure it was a novelty thing but are they actually worth anything?
He also had a few of what looked like pencil sharpeners in original boxes that were advertised as sharpening DE blades. Here too , are they worth anything .
I ask simply because I'm sure someone here has an answer and I haven't been able to find too much out about them. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places or don't know where to look.
If nothing else, I think they'd be fun to have considering the prices he was asking. It'd be neat with the rest of my stuff as razors and their accessories that were available throughout time. Just might complete the picture of razors that I seem to be assembling as a " this was available at the time as well" sort of thing.
Or am I just nuts about all that is available?
 
They call it "Mellow Yellow".....They call it "Mellow Yellow".....They call it "Mellow Yellow".....They call it "Mellow Yellow".....:scared:

Congrats and Cheers.

I picked up one of those last weekend or so. It came in a metal "shell". I thought it would compliment the collection, even if I never use it for it's intended purpose. The leather that strops the blades needs some conditioning, IMHO, but yours might be better.
 
Worth anything or not, It's something that I think I'd like to add to the collection. Why? I don't know. It's just something that was available at the time. Unfortunately I looked at so much stuff I forget the name. But really for a few bucks what's the harm is the way I look at it. I can find many things to blow a few bucks on without anything to show for it.
I guess I have a bad case of Newbie Mania.
 
Sorry guys,my enthusiasm got the best of me,,,,,AGAIN. Had I read a bit further I would have seen that a similar question had already been posted.

I got back from the show and put up the question without looking , reading or researching further.

Don't sweat it, this question has come up dozens of time and likely will again!
