Vintage Ronson stropping safety

[garythepenman]

Hi All,

Check this out. I've given it a good look and no visible DNA anywhere, I think it's never been used.

You can twist and flip the blade over so you basically can use it 4 times at least before stropping. The top plate is marked 1,2,3,4 etc so you know what you've done.
Even a few blades in the box although it looks like it should take 3 hole blades OK.

Any ideas of value in this condition ?. I might offer it up here to the avid safety collector.

Cheers

Gary

What a cool but odd duck. Can't help you on the value though. Sorry.

Hi gary ,

My guess is about 150-300$ range . if it is really NOT used and in mint condition. I have been eye balling a few just for the COOL factor of it to have it as an artifact in the shave den. but really that kind of money would def. be a collector who would want it to be their center piece of a big collection.

I wouldnt sell it on ebay then but simply go visit a shave convention you'd get more money for it. there is a big shave convention in USA yearly taking place I just dont remember where.

Nice one... just makes me appreciate my DE or the straight better..

Thanks guys, it doesn't owe me that much so if I sell it for $80 incl postage that would be a good deal for someone then ?.

Cheers
