Found Dad's S. Razor-Tell me what I have!!!
:)My Dad was the manager of a 24-chair Barber shop at Coronado Navel Amphibious Base-San Diego,CA in WWII. I ran across his barber case w/clippers, scissors, straight razors and razor straps. Just for curiosity's sake I checked E-bay for straight razors and all I saw of this particular name brand were made in Germany. What I have is an F. W. Engels, REG US PAT OFF stamped on one side and Warren Velvet Edge stamped on the other. What time period would this be from, how do I tell what size or nomenclature it is, what kind of value would it have, and compared to the three I saw on E-bay(which were very fancy) did F. W. Engels hire a lazy cousin when he started manufacturing in the US? The reason I ask is due to the plain nature of the handle as :shrug:compared to the fancy workmanship of those produced in Germany! This is my very first forum of any kind so forgive me if I "stink" at it! :o Cordially, Cleancut1 :confused:
P.S. What is a "tag", trackback, and what does "post a poll" mean? :shrug:
