    All I saw on the add was that it was a Union Cutlery Co. Signal. Not sure if it's John Sellers and Sons.

    Union Cutlery became KA-BAR in the 30's. Name owned by CUTCO nowadays.

    They made good stuff back in the day.

    I'm a big fan of Union Cutlery razors. That is the first Signal I've seen. Had it on my watch list. Great buy STR8RZR!

    Thanks wyo. Would you have any idea of the date on this razor from looking at the pics? It looks like it's in great shape and I'm excited about getting it next week.
