Andrew Jackson Abrams, Twentieth Century Cutlery, St. Louis, MO, USA circa 1900, that's the 601 model I believe.
Originally sold for $3.00 or you could buy a dozen for $18
He sold razors and knives from Germany and England from 1870 to 1926.
Someone else will probably respond with more information.
Wullie! Yer pistol-packin penquin is upside down! :D
He's drunk again.Quote:

Oh! That would be frightening!!!
Shhhh. he's passed out.
I think.
More sideways, well unless he is supposed to be lying on his left side with his gun pointed at the ground, which would be safer that pointing it up in the air, well unless you are standing on a sheet of glass over a 10000 foot drop onto a big pile of jagged rocks and acid.Quote:

Edit: yes i know now the picture is sideways, so pingu is the right way up, but the writing on the screen evidences the orientation of the bird in relation to the generally accepted vertical.
Ed. Have you been sitting at the pub with the penquin?
Uh-OH. Now you've done it. He's awake and has a hangover..Quote:

Here's a MOP covered tang AJ Jordan that was made in Germany.

Haven't honed it, but I suspect it's a good razor.
Zozo, the metal stand you are resting your razor on is very interesting. Did you borrow it from some other piece of furniture, just for the photo? Where did you get that? (I think I want to make a razor stand for my own razor by bending a wire clothes hanger to the required shape and snipping off unwanted wire.)
Thanks
Bob
coathanger wire works pretty well, making a loop for the tang is handy too, if i can find a piccie of mine i will post it.Quote:

Attachment 171845Attachment 171856this is mine. Sorry it is upside down the uploader seems to have a mind of its own
Very nice, I can do a little more work with mine. Did you paint yours? I'm thinking of painting or dipping mine in something like "liquid vinyl" or "liquid plastic" once I do a little reshaping. I may start a new thread on this so I don't hijack the original and make it about razor stands.
Thanks a lot!
Bob
It's because you're in Oz.Quote:

Here is a pre existing thread.
Yes i sprayed it.
What an impressive thread! It gives me some ideas, too.
Interesting hand made hangers....jejejeje.....A bit crazy but they get me some ideas.....you never know....., well the razor supra dicta works quite well, I´m used to shave me with half a wedge blades and it is a full hollow but I must say is one of the better razors I use actually. Not too hard steel, you can use it without sharpening duryng the shaved but afted you need it, easily, in the leather one or two times with good results. Quite soft and quite fast working. The scale were tested ivory, and...no more I think. Good summer. regards
Sorry for late answer.Quote:
