Farm Sale Find

[Chuakar]

I found a farm sale on the outskirts of town near where I live and scored pretty darned well. I picked up a fat boy, an adjustable slim, 5 superspeeds, a ball end, and a tech, (9 Razors), and a nice old beer mug for 10 bucks!
I've got a question about one of the superspeeds.
I'ts a red tip marked E 1 (1959) in pretty nice shape.
There are a couple more marks I've never seen before. On the underside of the head on both sides of the handle it is marked with a +.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Nice haul.

The plus means it is slightly more aggressive than the standard Red Tip. Nice razor.

Some are marked with the "+" to indicate the aggressiveness of the razor.
It's not rare, but maybe not as common and doesn't affect the value

On the Blue Tip razors you will see a "o" to indicate mild.
There are no extra markings on the regular SS models.

At least that's what I remember learning in SuperSpeed 101 class.
It's been a few years.

I saw a Tech and an Aristocrat in an antique store out here once. They wanted $40 for the tech,didn't ask about the Aristocrat. If it weren't for Ebay, I'd still be using carts.

Great score

I've never made a find like this.
And,
Oh, it happened:

Congrats..

It may just be the light playing tricks on my poor old eyes.....but does the red tip say made in U.S.A. or ENGLAND

[Chuakar]

Thanks. It says U.S.A.

Im curious about the Gillette Old type (top left), it looks to have a silver handle...

Very nice
Any date codes on the two straight tip SS on the left?
And be careful cleaning that old ball handle that looks like tarnished silver.

[Chester]

Nice work. Should be some fun cleanup!
Great, great value!

Congrats on the find!

Congrats, sounds like you've done well.

Can we get a better view of the mug? The image on it looks pretty cool, but hard to make out.

And, yeah, the ball end looks like it needs the baking soda/aluminum foil treatment.

Lucky dude, that's a once in a lifetime find right there.

I stopped in to an antique store on the way home yesterday and all they had was a stinking ball end Tech for $60 and a cased Fatboy for $115. That's the kind of crap finds I have where I live.
