Just picked this up and would like to know what a fair B&B price would be. The box has some scribbling on it and the case is pretty rough. The razor and blade box are in good condition. Thanks.
What's this New Standard worth?

A lot would depend on how good it cleans up. It is hard to tell from the picture...is there any brass showing on the razor?

It cleaned up beautifully! Check this out! No brassing, no nicks, no bent teeth. Clean as a whistle. The slight yellow cast in a couple of the shots is my poor photography. This razor is shiny, clean and pretty.

If the case was in better shape and the razor was in very good condition I would say around $100.00 more or less. I have one like I just described and I would not take less than $100.00 for it.
I still can't tell much from your pictures...it still looks yellow to me.

Rick - that is beautiful!! Nice cleanup!!
I would have to agree with Lucky . . . I have a cased Bostonian of similar vintage (no shipper box, though) and I would not sell it for less than $100 . . . if I could be convinced to sell it at all. (It is my "special occasion" razor!)
Keep in mind, though, that Alex has a wonderful sense of humor . . .
(His $20 offer is probably just a little bit light . . .)

Thanks for the help guys. Now I need to shave with it and think about whether I want to sell it or not. And what to do about that yellow cast in the photos. It really is totally bright and silvery.
a gold new standard with cardboard shipper in nr mint- mint condition sold on ebay last month for $63.
Try changing the "White Balance" setting on your digital camera . . . certain lighting and/or flash can cause nickel items to photograph with a gold cast. Some cameras have an Automatic White Balance (AWB) option that may (or may not) solve the problem.
(I thought it was a gold razor . . .)
And some digital cameras are programmed to find color in every shot, so will adjust the white balance to create a blue or yellow cast even if the subject is silver with a white background. I sometimes resort to including a colored object in the shot to keep a white object from being unbalanced by the camera software.

Thanks for the camera tips guys. I'll give them a try on a new set of pics when I list this razor for sale.
