Sheez.....I think I'd rather have an actual Winchester '74 rifle.

[RyanR]

Crap! I saw these at an antique store for like $20. I may have to go back and buy these. :w00t:

[Slash McCoy]

But look... only $1.85 shipping!

[Obi Wan]

I'll never be shocked at the price of Personna 74's again :001_rolle

[surpera1]

i cant believe someone payed that

[americanarmsdealer]

That's the dumbest thing I've seen in a while! I wonder what the top bidders were smoking when they submitted their bids??!!:blink::shocked:

[inspiringK]

Great, finally someone has some of these.
Now I am going to keep checking the Razor Blade Reviews section to find out what the buyer thinks after shaving with them:w00t:

[insomniac]

Anyone ever try the Marlin blades?

[mattface]

I am completely befuddled. :001_huh:

[Doctor Love]

Yeah, no kidding.

I was watching last night when that auction ended and I just couldn't believe what those blades sold for. Unbelieveable!

[IronHammer]

I don't get it. What's with that price? There's something I am totally missing about those Winchesters. Is it because they are "Winchester" products? Or because they are "Swedish Steel"...or both?

[Pkrankow]

Some collector probably. I doubt those will ever be used. I am sure that "Winchester" had a lot ot do with it, and that increased the audiance to all the gun collectors out there (which is probably a much larger group than vintage wet shavers)

Yes, it would be the Winchester gun collectors. Very rare item, full boxes, not actual gun-related items, but that branding is enough to make the loonies come out. This would be a 'curio' for display in a collection.

It's almost like us buying a Gillette-branded die-cast truck or belt buckle to add to our collections. Not a shaving item, but shaving-related.

Misplaced the decimal point???:biggrin1:

[ateace]

Yeah, I'm guessing that we're missing something here regarding Winchester collectibles.

Probably someone on a gun collector forum saying that they're a "must have".:lol:

[goby]

Hey, I bought these blades so I'd appreciate you not calling me an idiot or a loon.

They are very old. Plus they have 3 holes. Plus they are FINEST Swedish steel. Plus they will work with old Gillette razors.


Just kidding. :tongue_sm

[eastomjac]

i can see someone trying to put them in a '74

Old Americana collectible elevated to folk art status with the Winchester logo.

[PFP_Dad]

Wow, I thought sometimes I get caught up in the bidding.

[Wildalaska]

You are. Vintage Winchester branded blades are EXTREMELY scarce and almost NEVER are seen. Advanced Winchester collectors ( I have seen Winchester collections in private gands worth well over a million dollars) look for scarce items like that to enhance the value of their collections. Those blades were a bargain to the right bidder

If I saw a set of Webley blades on auction I would be shaking:scared:...and my collection doesnt even compare to some of the collections I have seen. One of my buddies is working on one each of every Colt 1911 variation ever made.

Im sure over on the Winchester forums they giggle about $100 Fat Boys
