Evidence of Filarmonica Manufactured in Solingen?????
I have a couple of good friends (one African and the other European) who visited Solingen today. I asked them to look for Filarmonica paraphernalia because of the ongoing discussion about the possible Herkenrath connection.
I got a few interesting pictures after their visit. Unfortunately, no 14 Filarmonicas, but there appears to be some legs to the story. Especially with the Palmera pic. Clearly, it's not a Vollmer Palmera, but it's interesting at least that at Herberz would have "Navaja La Palmera" on the blade and a very similar palm logo... Apparently, this isn't news though: AfeitadoClasico • Ver Tema - Relación F.Herder Abrm & Sohn con La Palmera.
As to the scales, I'm not sure I've seen any of those on a razor in the wild, but they were said to be genuine and were found in a Solingen scale maker's shop. By the box. Hundreds of them... I thought you all would at least find it interesting
