I have an ontario cutlery razor and its one of my favorites.. i just recived this geneva cutlery razor and was looking to learn more about it.. no picture due to using a computer and not my phone but.. razor is 5" closed yellow plastic or soligen scales (wood grain design) tang has what looks to be a second pin hole and scales have extra black pin on outside near end.. blade has a pyramid with 23 within.. full hollow square tip
Geneva are an American razor, NY, made till around the 30's then became Genco .. smooth shavers, try a search or look in the database..
Great shavers, I don't know what the 23 is, mine is like a 17, likely some date stamp I suspect
I've searched it. Didn't find anything on their stamps. Found out that 7's are common.
AFAIK, Ontario was made by Geneva. As to the number in the pyramid, I think a date stamp. We have discussed it before, but no conclusion that I recall. Good hard steel! :D
Yeah, somebody will be around show knows more about it..
Sharptonn is fast!
Naaa. Just bored! There is some cool info in this thread on Geneva beginning on post #148.

I have one of those as well, a 6/8 full-hollow spike point. It took some extensive restoration effort, but still functions very well. A good USA made straight and a long time favourite of mine.
Geneva is a first rate american razor.
