    Default Rochester razor?

    Anyone see this razor?
    Vintage Straight Razor
    I'm not bidding on it though I would love to. Several generations of my family were born and lived in Rochester and I remember my grandmother telling me that it used to be the "flour city" but was now the "flower city". I saw another razor with a handle almost exactly like this but it had a different name on the handle starting with F. I think it may have had a Boker tang stamp. Were these commemorative razors? Or were they for advertising? Does anyone know anything about them?

    Found the other razor. I was right about the Boker. The name on The handle is Faultless. Etching on the blade for the columbian exposition in Chicago in 1893 I think.
