[QUOTE=wayne394;1463199]KNOCK KNOCK!! Can I come in? I've attached photos of my Bokers. I have a NOS Tree Brand Arbolito, a King Cutter and one which I'm not sure of, although looking at the post #592 by engine46, I suspect it may be an Imperial with the blade etching worn off.
I'm on the hunt for a 1056 next.
It may not be an Imperial or it would have to be worn a lot. The etching on mine is into the blade almost as if it were stamped into it before heat treating but I don't know how they did it back then. I love them though, especially the first two.
engine46, the shape of that Boker certainly looks the same as your Imperial. The Boker stamp is the same too and I haven't been able to find that stamp on any other razor. The jimps are plain too.
Best of all, it's a great, great shaver.

That's because those scales belong to the "new" Boker Arbolito straight razor. Not sure how he got ahold of those scales without a blade, but good on him!
Afternoon all,
I just acquired my first Boker, from an antique store.It is a 6/8 extra hollow ground. I know it needs a little lovin, but not sure where to start. From what I can see, the cutting edge is in great shape. I would love to hear your thoughts.Attachment 195018Attachment 195019Attachment 195020Attachment 195021Attachment 195022
