Circa 1896 'Case Brothers', Little Valley , NY...Shoulderless/Barber's Notch
This is a real beauty, and a pretty rare one I believe: A circa 1896-1897 'Case Brothers', Little Valley, NY, marked "TESTED XX" on the back of the tang. From what I could find out the razors marked with this are pretty definitively from the 1896-1897 time frame, from right around the time the factory moved from Gowanda, NY to Little Valley, NY.
It's a shoulder-less 6/8 wedge with a Barber's Notch. Finished in a two-tone with polished tang and spine and polished crocus satin finish on the blade face, and polished original scales. Incredible steel...true state of the art American manufactured razor. Superb shaver!
Hope you like it...
