And, my razor might be one of your razor's ancestors. I have a Geneva. From the information I've found on the message boards here The Geneva Cutlery Co. began in 1902 in Geneva, NY. In 1935, they were bought out by Case. Case moved the operations to Bradford, PA, and continued to produce razors under the name Genco until 1955. I'm glad I saw your post. I was wandering about the age of my razor. The person I bought it from, JoshEarl, mentioned there was a posting about the history of Geneva and Genco that would give me an idea of it's age. I almost forgot to look it up.
