Thread: Let's Have a Contest.

Wow glad to see these things still going on Come guys put out some more entries here. Heck I still have my set of Robesons I put together, my personal favorites. Still want to find another Green Lizard for a pair (just not as active about it anymore ).

Just glad to see people stirring the pot to keep things interesting

Yeah guys lets hear more about American blades!!! I see this thread is mentioned under the contest banner, but there is no link directly from there. Maybe add a link there and we can get some more entries... I have enjoyed what i've read so far so bump bump.

Come on lads surely there are some more patriots out there, that can add some deep heart felt emotion towards the awesome US made blades to this post

Not that I realy care, as the less posts the betters the chance of 1 of these 2 awesome Torrey's coming to Aus LOL

Okay, here goes with one final attempt to get my paws on a Torrey! Since my first post, it has been revealed that the 'tabs' on the razor scales are in fact means to lock the razor in place. Being an intellectual property lawyer and an artist, I must admire and applaud any trader willing to not only improve on a design, but to protect it at the same time. That is one thing that the US outshines any other country on.

So, we know from the scales that the patent was granted on 1 August 1905... But what is the patent number? Well, it took a few hours of research (not least because the USPTO does not allow for title searches going back as far as 1905, and compounded by the patent appearing in the name of Samuel Marvin), but I present to you...

The granted patent:


I have also attached the PDF for those interested to see what the whole patent looks like. It would make an excellent framed picture for above the Torrey owner's collection!
