    It's quite possible that they were made in Chicago. A high end hotel like the Palmer House provided amenities like straight razors for their guests to shave with.

    Probably German made. Looks 'Bokerish" to me! There were Boker 'Waldorf's" for that hotel. How many Boker's were from the Chicago Worlds Fair Colombian Exposition? The SS St. Louis?
