    I have been trying to find out info on this blade. here are a couple of pics of mine, I have the original box, I'll post a pic later.I picked it up on ebay for $30 bc I likes the way it looks. I didn't know what I was doing I was trying to decide between this and a kreiger, luckily I saw on SRP to avoid kriegers Phil from classic edge said I hit the jackpot with beginners luck.Name:  photo-3.jpg

    Nice score! It looks like it's in excellent condition!

    I am always fascinated by these razors that are stamped with old company names of yesteryear. It was probably once sold at a department store like Morgan's or Eaton's. Back in the day when you could also buy pipes, tobacco and other gentlemanly accoutrements all at one place.

    As to who manufactured the razor that very difficult to find unless it is sometimes marked as well.
