Old Thiers-Issard razor - worth anything?

[Denix]

Hi guys.

I recently acquired an old Thiers-Issard Spartacus 2 5/8 razor. The owner believed that it was about 40 years old, but wasn't sure.

New TI razors are quite expensive. I'm wondering if an older one has any value. I'm wondering whether to keep it or try to sell it. Any advice would be appreciated. Here are some pics:

Thanks!

Yours is in excellent condition. TI razors are seldom seen on Ebay and usually go for $100 plus. They are an excellent razor.

Thanks Randy.

Not bad considering I got it for almost nothing at a local flea market. The seller had a table full of old junk. On a corner I spotted Thiers-Issard on an old box. I was curious to see what was inside the box. I didn't know they made razors when I got it. The seller's daughter came up to the table and said that she used an identical one in her barber shop. In spite of that, they both seemed to think that $10 was an acceptable counter-offer I have to admit that at the time I thought that $15 was steep for that razor...
