H. Boker & Co restoration

[Sam0917]

Found this for $40 at a local store. It it worth anything? Tips on restoration? Looks like the tip was over sharpened so not sure if I should leave as is or try to correct. Also found these other two in good shape.

Okay just saw that model is going for hundred of dollars. Worth it to send it out to get restored?

Price appraisals are against TOU of the forum...

With that said and out of the way, Boker are pretty good razors.

That Genco caught my eye. Looks like not a lot of wear, and they are good razors.

The Columbian Expo Boker is seen pretty often and ithat one is not a museum piece. It's worth what someone would pay for it. As far as value, we don't appraise here. Forget about what people list razors for. Better to check to see what they actually sold for.

Get it honed and shave with it. Then, if you love it get it 'restored' if that's your thing. If you want to do it yourself, use the search funtion to look for restoration threads.

Those should make decent shavers, not money makers

I would clean them up and enjoy, don't think you'd recoup the restoration costs on the resale.

As has been said flat out appraisals are not allowed
