Straight Razor Auction Ending 9/16

This offering of straight razors and related items is from the collection of Claude Rondeau with additions.

Claude Rondeau, who lived in France, collected fancy and unusual straight razors for over 40 years. I, Robert Doyle, met him when he visited my home in 1984 to view my collection. While he purchased some unique pieces from me over the years, he primarily assembled his collection in France. As this offering will attest, he sought the rare and unusual. French made straight razors are quite rare in the U.S. and very hard to find. One unique feature is the wooden slide top cases that house some of his straight razors. A good number of these rarities are offered in this auction. He also collected many rare genuine ivory handled 19thC examples - many one of a kind.

This offering is located in Connecticut and all lots will be shipped from Danbury, CT to successful bidders.

Payment is due by Tuesday, September 18 at 1PM.

All lots sold as is, where is. There is a 15% Buyers Premium for all lots purchased. Payment methods include cash, MC, Visa, Discover or good check. You can make credit card payment online by going to your Member Area and selecting your invoice. *NOTE* Shipping is available on all items.
