What kind of Gillette was this?

[VR6ofpain]

It went for only $26 on eBay. What was this? A "Big Boy"?

Gabe, Nice score, yes your right it's an old type Big Boy. Really clean too!!!

 

[VR6ofpain]

Oh I didn't win it. I put down $20 for the hell of it, which wasn't the highest bid. I wasn't too interested in it anyway, just curious what it was.

I have the gold Big Boy and was bidding on that silver one, but neglected to set a snipe or higher bid....I really wanted that one too..

Wow, that one must have been somewhat hidden. Great price.

My luck Your "New" gold Big Boy BTW is a very very nice piece, I would take it from you any day of the week, just say the word...

$26 is a great price for one of those. Any kind of Big Boy, Big Fellow was fetching pretty serious money the last time I was looking for these on the Bay (less than a year ago), especially specimens in that kind of condition. Someone dun good!

I was actually thinking all along that I possibly got my gold one from the same seller as this one. Both sellers were in NC and didn't take Paypal....

Nevertheless, congrats my friend. That razor would have been a steal at twice that price. Of course, we all expect a selection of your excellent photos upon arrival .

"Cutting Edge Man" won it.
