Here's a nice American Manufactured 6/8 SQ. point J.M. Schmid & Son, Providence R.I. It's called the 'HOPE' razor...and it shaves wonderfully!
Enjoy...

Gorgeous razor, always love seeing the American made razors.
Sweet razor! Nice luster on blade and scales. It looks like a brand new razor.
That's a gorgeous razor wolf, real nice....i like it.
Very nice,,,,,,,,,,,:tu
Very nice razor looks like new! J.M. Schmid & Son, Providence R.I. was a dealer in pocket knifes and razors, 1871-1964. So its highly possible that this razor was made for them, i came across a lot of their cutlery offerings with a Made in Germany stamp.
Perhaps it is from around WWII and was made for Hope by an American maker?
Either way, seems to have the brown scales. Hard rubber? Looks just dandy, Mike! Love me some Americans! :tu

Well, if it don't say and is from the WWII era? Whether they made it or someone else made it for them, Apple Pie as can be!
(It just reeks of George Korn! If WWII, later than that! I think older than WWII.)
You could very well be right Tom...Geo. Korn made a lot of razors for a lot of folks!
Always gorgeous....great job!
Thanks Andrew...appreciate it very much. I've got a nice 'Sheffield' coming up that I know you're going to like! ;)Quote:
