    Default Trade fox mark Germany new old stock never used peacock

    A friend of mine gave me this as a gift because I grew a beard and was complaining that I couldnt find anywhere that sells straight edge razors... It looks way to nice to use. Anyone know anything about this or its value? It is in MINT condition even the box for its age Im assuming its old like 1930s

    Welcome to SRP!
    First of all, we don't do valuations on razors here. It is worth whatever you think it is worth.
    Second, nice razor! The scales are beautiful.
    Your guess of early 1900s is probably correct.
    I'm not familiar with Hemmingson Brothers, but someone around here probably is.

    The fox trademark is your next clue to research. A lot of businesses had their names put on razors even though they were made by a company in Germany. Hardware stores, department stores, tractor supplies , any body that bought a minimum quantity I suppose. I have 2 razors with Fox on them. No other names :<0) Fox Cutlery.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
