Thread: Simons hardware Barber's N421

I got that razor from 3$ on ebay. It is in really bad shape but it is also my summer project and my first razor restoration.
Until now i never heard about Simons hardware razor and if someone know something more, please share with me.



and link to gallery - Album on Imgur

all tips are welcome as this is my first own project.

Simmons Hardware was a very large company which dealt in a wide variety of quality products. This razor was most likely made in Germany for them.
Why not post it in the 'Razors' subforum. You should get more advise there, I think!

Here is a link to a No 421 in the SRP razor database.
Simmons Hardware "Barber's Pet" 11/16 - Straight Razor Place Library

As sharptonn said, Simmons was a hardware company that sold thousands of different items. They were based in St. Louis, Missouri and were in business from around 1870 to 1939. Their trademark was Keen Kutter and there is somewhat of a collectors market for items stamped with the Keen Kutter logo.
