Thread: New Vintage Boker Need Help With History

Greetings,
I am just getting into the straight razor culture and have just purchased my first razor. I have been looking for quite some time and finally found what I was looking for. (a unique and old piece which can be restored) I think this piece is very unique in its appearance, but I do not know enough about it to be sure if it is original. I have searched the internet for info on this razor and come up empty handed. I think it is a 1924-35 make from the proof stamps. As for the the scales being original, I don't know. I'm also unsure about the history of the "Our Pet" blade. It seems a rather odd name for a razor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, the back of the blade is stamped GERMANY. Thanks for the help.

Look on "Strazors.com", and check the logo. It changed over the years and that will help date it.

As bouscie said, check the logo. I can't see the "tree" clearly enough in the photo to tell but you can check it at the bottom of the page here:
