Had to do some work in Prescott Arizona last fall. Before heading home I stopped in a antique store and asked if they had any safety razors. The Lady reached under the counter and pulled out a large bell jar packed with faire tips. At the bottom what this old beat up Ranger Tech. Offered $8 and walked out the door.
9 weeks at Razor Emporium and look at what a beauty it became. I know I probably killed the value by not returning it to gold plating. But then again it would have spent its life in the bottom of a jar.
