Greetings my fellows. I recently purchased an antique Boker-made razor from eBay, and I was of course interested about the piece's history. I made an inquire but the seller was not able to give me definitive information about the razor's age. He directed me here, letting me understand that you might be able to help me.
It is a Crescent razor, made for the Logan-Gregg Hardware Company by H. Boker of Solingen. Spanish point, 5/8 Extra Hollow Ground, with original bakelite scales (I understand the nickel silver pins have been replaced)
The seller assumed it to be manufactured around 1900-1920. Can a more accurate estimate be given?
These images are from the eBay listing.

Nice looking razor. I'm sure that Doc or one of the other Boker experts can tell you more, but by the looks of that logo, your razor was made between 1900 and 1924. See the Boker logo history chart below.
Warm regards,
Larry

I don't think there is room under for the text, so I'm guessing its the 24-35. But who really knows...
