Yardsale Fatboy advice needed

[sandmountainslim]

I believe this to be the "Fatboy" model you talk of on this forum.
I picked it up at a yardsale about five years ago. the razor appears to have very little if any use but the packet of blades is missing from the case.
I don't intend on using it since I always use my notched forties superspeed and it is way to heavy looking anyways. As best my eyes can see the date code appears to be C2.
Any ideas on what type value this razor would have? I have not made up my mind on whether to sell it or just keep it to look at. You can click the photo to enlarge

Correction: Date code is G2 rather than C2. My mag glass helped me determine this

Nice looking razor. Couldn't be a C date code. D (1958) was earliest Fatboy year.

I am gonna have to get my magnifying glass to have a better look at the code.


Ok, the date code is "G2"

Nice looking razor.

Value depends a bit on condition, which I can't see that well from just one photo. Do the doors open and close smoothly and properly? Do they lock down the way they're supposed to? Does the adjustment mechanism work well? Are the numbers black? Is there plating loss anywhere, or waterspots/scratches on the doors?

If everything works well and is in excellent condition, the razor is probably worth about $55 to $60.

Doors open and close like new as does the adjustment mechanism, the numbers are black, no scratches or blemishes, it honestly looks unused or very little use.
If it is worth $55 bucks I got a great deal! I picked it up at a yardsale for three dollars

By all means, put it up for sale, somebody would love to shave with that!

I see these listed all the time on 'bay for $50 but the ones that sell are $25-30.

Wow! I have seen these on sale on ebay for well over $100. I picked one up at a antique store for $10. Great find.

Very nice Fatboy. It is worth $1. You can send it to me at. . .

Seriously, if you decide to sell it, it will go very quickly on the B/S/T forum. You can look at the past sales of Fatboys on B/S/T to gage its value. Condition is very important, so compare it to Fatboys with a similar condition and a case.

There's the post I was looking for.


And was going to provide if I didn't see it.

Edit: two minutes late? Crap!
