I doubt we will ever see another set like this.
Opening bid is 10K.

22 karat gold plated, now that's one flashy shave.

 

[Shangas]

Hoooooly mother of Jesus...

They do NOT make things that awesome today.

Another reason to love Vintage!!

 

[LordBest]

I find it rather vulgar.

 

[Shangas]

It makes all our stuff look like crap, I'll say that much...

 

[Vintage lover]

I find it rather vulgar.

That is one of the great things about it lol. If you think about it, most great things are love it or hate it.

 

[Feraud]

It's a gorgeous luxury set for the affluent.

It's nice, but I'd be impressed if it was 22k and not 22k gp.

No, she wouldn't. She would wipe you entire existence from the space-time continumium.

It's a very pretty shaving set, but I think the seller has a greatly exaggerated concept of its worth. It's only gold-plated, not solid gold, and I doubt if it would bring more than three or four hundred bucks at one of the better auction houses.

Adjusted for inflation, $50 in 1911 is equal to about $1,150.00 today.

Then they should start the bidding at $1,150.00.

 

[Qirrel]

10,000 dollars? Thats an insane price. $500 seems like a more feasible price if you ask me. After all its only gold plated.

 

[Geesie]

The 'bay seems to agree.

 

[Talbot]

Makes my bone handled straight razor seem pretty down to earth....

 

[davestlouis]

Bruce Wayne, she regularly threatens to remove me from the planet anyway...

That set is kinda cool, but not $10k worth of cool.

 

[Tomasso]

I find it rather vulgar.

Because it's gold?

 

[Feraud]

The market currently agrees 10k is a bit much for this..
