    Exclamation Some pages from old catalog.

    Some pages from old(1917) catalog. They are not very good quality, but may be helpful and interesting for someone.

    Thanks Alex. Any idea what year the catalog was published/printed?

    Thanks for the catalog pages, Alex. That #204 Wade and Butcher is one of my favorite razors, but I was never sure what era it was made in. Now I can put a date to it. Also, the #121 Wostenholm matches one of my pipe razors too. I wish there was more information like this out there.

    Regards - Walt

    I'm sorry. I made a mistake and looked at other entries.
    This Hibbard,Spencer,Bartlett & Co catalog was printed in 1899.

    I love old catalogs, if for no other reason than to see what things cost back in the old days. I was thinking, "Crikey, straights have always been expensive," until I saw they were per dozen. Wow.

    I was looking at a 1920 aviation magazine on Google Books the other day, and there was a Royal typewriter advertised for $67 (and not per dozen). Can you imagine? That was a significant fraction of the price of a car.

    Thanks for posting these!

    Wow! When you factor in ninty-three years of inflation - razors are a much better buy today.

    For those of you who do not know; Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett became True Value Hardware.
