Does Anyone Know this Razor?
This razor was in with a whole bunch of antique photo stuff I got at a garage sale a week ago. I have no idea if it's worth anything and I can't find any marks indicating who made it. I'd love to know if anyone has ever seen one like it and/or can point me in the right direction to try and determine its value, if any. Pretty sure it's an ivory handle.

Never met that one.
He looks like he's been left out in the cold and wet for way too long.
Pretty sure that is not ivory.
No idea what you have in mind for it, but it unusable for what it was originally designed for.RezDog likes this.Member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club, participant SE Asia War Games 1972-1973. The oath I swore has no statute of limitation.

Scales might be bone. Razor is shot. Don't think there is enough metal left after you remove rust. As for value we are not allowed appraisals on this site. Good luck.

Whatever razor that used to be, its day has come and gone. Scales are likely bone as they are too thick and pinned differently than most ivory scales. Appearance-wise it looks like any number of full hollow 20th century blades, which in great condition are extremely common.

I'd bet the scales are celluloid and the blade is suffering from rot. Toss the whole mess unless the scales turn out to be bone once cleaned.
In that case, just toss the blade.

Jimmy speaks honestly. IF the scales are indeed bone, it may well prove impossible to rid them of the rust staining which will likely be deep into the bone. FME

I rest my case.
