    Default Need more info on this Boker Straight Razor

    The link isn't working for me mrwinkle. Just takes me to the ebay front page, not the item. How about some photos?

    I am green with envy mrwinkle. That is a beautiful example. That would have been right at home in my Boker collection!!

    I can't give you any definitive date of production. The spine work is the same as on one of mine - Good as Gold. This photo doesn't show the spine work though.

    From looking at the scales of yours, comparing those with adverts from early catalogues, my best guess would be somewhere around 1920, give or take a few years! Sorry I can't be more exact.

    Nice razor.
    Most likely, it's a model No. 2061.
