Americana: J.M. Schmid & Son c. 1871-1964... the 'HOPE' RAZOR 6/8:
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...

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!
Wolfpack34 and wyobarbershop like this."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Hell of a shaver though...and since I got it here in America I'M CALLING IT AMERICAN!

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.)Last edited by sharptonn; 01-21-2015 at 01:08 AM.
