Don't see these often. For collectors

Yes, collectable for sure. There are several models of Gillette Toggles to be aware of but even the most common model carries a premium price. The other Gillette adjustable that is even pricier is the Gillette Bottom Dial and again there are several models varying in price. I was lucky enough to acquire decent condition examples of the common models of both the Toggle and Bottom dial at modest prices. To me they all shave like my run of the mill Fat Boy so the value is in collectability and not shaving prowess. That is not to say they won't shave extremely well when cranked to #9.

I have a very rare razor too, Gillette Fusion. Almost extinct in my household. Start the bidding at 100 million dollars.

Although I have zero personal experience with Gillette Toggles, I've read online from people who have and that they found them typically performing poorly. If true, the premium price commanded speaks to the rarity, rather than the performance.
I think post #2 answers the how does it perform question and yes the value is in rarity. They shave, if using a #9 setting, like my Fat Boy also at #9 which is to say very well for me. The bottom Dial is the same for me also on the same setting. From experience I do not think they perform poorly.
