Howdy gents (and ladies?)
I told my grandfather that I had purchased a DE, and he remembered that he had a few of his father's old razors and asked if I would be interested in having them. Of course, I accepted. I am told that my great-grandfather stopped using a straight in or about the '40s. Anyways, I'm interested in knowing value (I may sell one or two, or toss them if they aren't worth anything). At this point in time I don't have the time or money to get them restored, or the time to learn to shave with one. Anyways, here goes, and thank you for the help in advance.
All four:
The Boker's Wedge (I can't find any information about this one online).
Of the four this one is in the best shape. There is a very small spot of rust on the cutting edge.
The Ford & Medley. Made in Sheffield.
The Hamburg Ring is etched into the blade on this razor by Joseph Rodgers & Sons cutlers to their Majesties No. 5 Norfolk Street Sheffield
And the razor with the most rust by S. Hibbert &Son(s?) also of Sheffield
