I'm not sure what the thing that looks like a hole in the blade is but it ain't on the razor.

Nice score!!!

How did you find out so much about Bresnick/Bresduck/Pearlduck?

Basically just from collecting them the last few years. After you start to line up about 20 or so vintage ones you can see the history right in front of you by the names and models.There was a guy here a while back who had an old vintage catalog. I don't know what happened to him.

come on gentlemen step right up, step right up. A troubling situation has arrived in the razor club and that is the use of thumbnail pictures. I know that some of you old timers still remember when the razor clubs were a thing of beauty! with large glossy pictures of razors and we viewed until our hearts content. but those days are through it would seem. I beseech all the members of the razor clubs to take the poll in the general section and vote to restore large pictures to our beloved razor clubs. It is up to us gent and together we can restore these clubs to there former glory!!!!!!

I humbly beg the indulgence of the most honourable & esteemed Brotherhood of Daffy Ducks in order to seek enlightenment upon the history of the manufacturers & models of these most illustrious blades.

My grandfather possessed one blade, which he called Bruce. I never understood it either He said it was all the razor a man would ever need & that if I so desired I could have it when I needed it. He hadn't used it since his retirement from the Royal Navy in 1955. His beard was biblically prodigious by the time I arrived Unfortunately my father got hold of it when Ran passed on & it disappeared along with many other significant items.

What is known of Bruce? Not an awful lot. Ran told me it was Duck. It had gold shank & tang. The scales were, best I can remember, undecorated red brown semi tranclucent horn of some kind. It was was acquired somewhere around 1932, I think. Where? Not a bloody clue gentleman. He served all over the globe & as a Captain from 1930 & collected as he travelled.

My questions for your amusement & consideration are these.

When were Ducks first & last produced?

What sequence did the various Ducks appear & disappear?

By whom & at what times were they made?

Sorry to be so abrupt honourable squires & please feel free to remove this to a more appropriate locale if deemed necessary by the hallowed inquisitors. If this information is available anywhere please let me know.

In the mean time kind sirs, I eagerly attend your response with a keen eye on the bay & elsewhere for my admission to the club.

Many thanks

Spike

My little project right now a Dubl Duck Special Wedge which had a major case of rusting. I had to take the flap wheels to it but I think she turned out ok. Got to love blury ebay photos.

I thought I knew just about all the ducks and nicks by now but new ones keep popping up. I just got this one. Think its worth 37 bucks? A little stain on the blade but otherwise its in pretty good shape.

My only DublDuck... I really like it and hope to grow a herd soon, I like big families

Had no idea the Black Diamond was a duck. I sold mine a few months ago.

In fact, I think it is back on sale at the B&B BST.
