For your consideration is this ANTIQUE lot of (10) TEN assorted brands 100+ year old EMPTY shaving straight razor storage boxes in varying conditions ranging from poor to fair. The boxes range from the 1900s to the 1920s. If you collect antique and vintage shaving or barber memorabilia this lot is what you are looking for.

There are several individual brand boxes that are increasingly hard to find and are considerably worth more by themselves.
The razor boxes are cardboard with differing coverings. All measure between approximately 7.0” long, 1.25” wide and 5/8” thick. The ten boxes together have a combined weight of approximately 8.0 ounces. Refer to description photos #18 and #19 to confirm the approximate size dimensions and for more details about what I have described.
