In case you missed them - original set of videos in this thread.

I've started another thread for these additional ones so they are all up the top of the thread not hidden in discussion further down.

So let's get started -


(Of course the 'ivory' box is not actually ivory)

Sorry about the lack of commentary (or maybe a good thing?)

No prizes for the videography or commentary - but hopefully the content is enjoyable!
 
Awesome @Mark1966 exceeded my expectations and even your reputation ;)
I had to watch the start of 1st video 5x because my jaw kept dropping every time you passed over that purple bulldog set, but then it just keeps getting better with the travel sets and their ornate engraving, gift boxes, exec with mirror and of course the aristocrats. Hard to pick a favourite amongst all those amazing sets. Thank you again for sharing :)(y)
 
Great to see such a wonderful collection. How many years have you been collecting @Mark1966 ?

It was really across a four year period 2010 - 2014 most actively. After that it got VERY expensive and time consuming trying to hunt down items I didn't have - and competing with cash up Yanks.

I didn't see the razor in your avatar. Do you still have it @Mark1966

The avatar is one of those ones that got away! The razor is nothing, but that litho tin from the very first Gillettes ...
