Inherited cut-throats or straight razors
Good afternoon gentlemen...excuse me for barging in on your forum, but I could do with a little guidance.
I have been left siz straight razors and would like to know if they are bin-fodder or worth looking after and selling.
All have the first signs of corrosion or rust on the blades---not serious and I would welcome advice on the best way to clean them.
Hard to tell what the handles or made from but I think a couple may be horn...and a couple are probably plastic.
There is a G Myers, hollow ground, decorated blade (boxed)
A Kobar "Special Brand" hollow ground
A German made, hollow ground, decorated blade...can't read name
A Drew Rattler (end of blade seems to be broken)
A Swift hollow ground, decorated blade,
And an "Extra Hollow Ground" decorated blade, can't read name.
I would appreciate any advice you may be able to give,
Regards,
Doug
