FS: Cased Star

[HoosierTrooper]

Price reduced to $68 because I sold one blade, one blade holder and the stropping handle.

Thought I'd list this here first. All I did was clean it with warm soapy water, no polishing of any kind. It is really shiny and in excellent shape.

The set has three blades that have 3 stars and Made in USA on them that don't appear to have ever been sharpened. the other one says JA HENCKELS TWIN WORKS SOLINGEN GERMANY HENCKELS RAPIDE on it. It definetely has been sharpened. It has seven blade holders and the device to put the blade in to sharpen it.

The snap material is broken but it still snaps and unsnaps easily. The top is connected to the bottom by the material on the back. I don't know if it originally had hinges or not. It has an indentation at the bottom of the handle, not sure if it's a ding or supposed to be there.

Goodwill had a printout from a website that estimates antiques value, and it showed it was worth $110. I couldn't find many of these that have sold on E-bay or elsewhere so my question is this

I would like someone here that might want it have first shot before I list it elsewhere.

Anyone? Good? Bad?

Nice looking set.. not sure about the value but someone will come along and work that out. I am guessing that it is a wedge only razor?

Actually a modern single edge blade fits perfectly.

Tom, I have no idea what this razor is worth. It certainly looks like a nice set.

I think with these higher-value items, it takes more time and exposure to find the persons who are looking for them.

Ooh, lovely. This is exactly what I'm looking for... but appalling timing! My wife has just given birth to our second child (a boy, born on Valentine's Day a month earlier than expected) so finances are a little tight. If it's still there when money is flowing I'll gladly take it off your hands!

Congratulations on the newborn! Missed my birthday by one day.
