The box is in great shape. I would have scooped it up at that price. The razor is useless though unless you have a top cap and screw bar.Saw this one at the antique shop earlier today. I didn't buy it because it doesn't have the bottom piece (so i can't use it). The razor looks black, maybe it's silver and it could be tarnished.
Also, looking mr razors site. The box can't be from 1904, that box is from 1906 (honest mistake from the seller i guess). Looking at the picture, i guess i should have bought it anyway, since the box looks to be in ok shape.
