On the left is a google earth image of the Genco factory site in its current condition in Geneva, New York. I'm pretty sure this is the correct site south of Grant Avenue, and I think that may be remnants of the actual building. On the right is the 1917 representation. Someone in the Geneva area should drive over and see if the milling equipment is still there!

wonder if there are any blanks left in there

Too late to edit my previous post, but I said Grant Avenue was the address of the factory in Geneva. I should have said Gates Avenue. That's what the aerial photo shows.

Ah.... The most underrated razor out there.

Here are two of my five the Head Barber

And the Gold Seal

I almost had four more but got snipped at the last second.

So does the queen of the plain-jane, reliable, inexpensive American shavers deserve a razor club? I think so.

Here are my three excellent Genco razors. Sorry about the blurry pic.

1. Genco Registered.
2. Genco Master Barber.
3. Genco Army & Navy.

I got each of them for less than $10, shipped.

Here's my, probably incomplete, list of Genco models:

Army & Navy
B-2?
Blue Steel
De Roma
Easy Aces
Expert
Fluid Steel
Forgemark
Gold Seal
Grant
Head Barber
Heavy
Henry's Triumph
Henry's X
Henry's XX
Master Barber
Master Barber Jr.
Nubak
Old Dutch
President
Red Cross
Registered
Safedge
Seneca Chief
Tiger
Vanadium
Washington
Wedge
#35

I hope to one day have a complete collection, but as a bit of a cheapskate, I'm not holding my breath.

I've just noticed the Genco club .. I did think of starting this only I was gonna call it the Geneva Convention

what a fine collection you have .. I thought I was doing well with 5 or 6

Geneva Convention is a pretty clever name, I got "Genco Pura" from The Godfather. It was the name of Don Vito's olive oil company.

That's just a list of Genco models I've seen on ebay, I've only got four of them.

Ahhhh ok , a man after my own heart tho . I'm no David Bailey so I'll try and get my lovely wife to take a picture of my little Geneva Convention and I'll post them up .

Looks like I'll have competition on ebay now LOL

If I see you bidding I'll leave it be .

Cheers Garry
