I have for trade a Blue Lady made in the 2nd quarter of 1975 (V2) that is in fine condition. No discoloration spots on the handle, just a couple of small flattened "beads" that are barely noticeable. Plating appears to be all intact on the head, all the paint is in the stars and the doors are nice and shiny. Inside the doors there is some hard water buildup around the hole for the TTO rod that I did not go after. The only thing detracting from this razor is there are a couple of grooves on the TTO knob where there is some plate loss as seen in the pics. To be honest, I didn't even notice it till I started to give the razor a clean. Since I have another, older, Blue Lady I figured I'd put this one on the BST. I personally dislike selling things on ebay and would rather keep this in the B&B community where I know it will be appreciated and hopefully not resold on the bay.
I have recently become interested in fountain pens and have my eye on starting a nice little entry level collection. So I would like to trade for a working/restored fountain pen that is equal in value to the razor ( I figure $25), or I'm willing to kick in a little compensation cash ($10-15) on top of the razor. I would like to keep this in the CONUS.
FWIW, I very much like the look of the Esterbrooks and have one SJ and J in gray so far, but would love to have one of the other colors. I also am interested in a TWSBI 530 which have been discontinued. But whatever you might have I'll consider.
PM me if you have something you would like me to consider.
