Just got a deal on a Torrey razor with ivory scales at a local antique shop. The owner of the shop is also a certified CPA and does our taxes for us. I had to go in to sign the paperwork. While waiting for her to come from the back with the papers I noticed in a display case the Torrey with a box for another type razor for ten dollars. Both the box and razor were very good so I bought them on the spot. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the ivory scales were etched. It was a likeness of President Garfield with the words "IN Memoriam" over his likeness and "Died Sept 18th, 1881" below it. Anybody have any ideas about the rarity of this piece? I'm hesitant to clean the scales too much. I don't want to wear down the etching and besides, there is a pretty good hairline crack in the ivory on each side of the lower pin. I'm soaking it in mineral oil. Can the crack be stabilized? I would really like to hone this razor and shave with it but I don't want to damage it further. A full restoration that keeps the original scales is not out of the question. Any takers out there, you honemeisters/restoration experts?
