    Well, there's one in the Wiki: Koeller, F. & Co "Velvo" 4/8 - Straight Razor Place Library

    Then there's this: F. Koeller & Co., Solingen-Ohligs. - Blogs - Straight Razor Place Forum

    Their RZM was M7/97.

    Yeah, it is celluloid. Koeller made the Sears/Roebuck Sta-Sharp for a time, as well as their own Sta-Sharp/Koeller branded razors. They were some of the best of the varied 'Craftsman' line IMHO.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
