Many thanks to CartridgesAreADrag - I thought his 'rules' were uber-cool. Sometimes, stuff posted to B/S/T disappears in minutes, even seconds! All prices are shipped in lower 48 and payment by PayPal.
The rules... do not rush or feel hurried! I will check my pm mailbox tomorrow - so, take your time and do review the razor pics on the Photobucket link. In the event multiple people are interested, my criteria for selecting the buyers will be based on a couple things: please include in your PM title the following tags if it applies to you.
For trade - I've never had a Red Tip Super Speed. With case is a plus.
You want to buy the razor outright: Cash - [razor name]
You want to trade: Trade - - [razor name]
First Time! This is your first razor of this type.
Hopefully it is not too confusing, just trying to manage my inbox.

The Red Imp was sold a while ago, sorry to tease!
Gillette Special Set 501 with ABC Shell handle. $65 As far as I can tell, this is probably from 1910 or 1920. Basketweave case in gunmetal. I believe this is for Gillette Special Set No. 501 with Gillette blade bank and very old Gillette blades. Some of the blades are not listed on mr-razor / Achim's site. 3-hole white wrapper #122. 3-hole pale green wrapper #205. 3-hole green wrapper #341. Note 1 slightly bent corner tooth (right front corner in pic).
1941 Ranger Tech $50
Razor shows faint thinning or speckles on the handle as seen in the pictures. Case is pretty beat up on outside. TTO knob opens & shuts silo doors smoothly, evenly, and tightly.
1953 Gillette Rocket HD stamped "Patent Pending" inside the floor of blade tray. $50
Nice, shiny, TTO is smooth. No lazy doors. There is a ding in the handle, I put silver paint there to hide it a bit See the Photobucket link for images with ding. Great shaver.
