I was reading up on C.V. Heljestrand & I thought I would add this link I found on the internet about how he made corkscrews along with many other things.
The story of C.V.Heljestrand, Eskilstuna Sweden | British mechanical corkscrews
Also, just a titbit of information I found out relatively recently: sometime in the 1910's Berte (Berthe?) Kindal (widow to Magnus Kindal) bought up the C.V. Heljestrand operation: Kindal History.
This seems to explain the different stamps on the 20th century Heljestrand razors:
M.K. = Magnus Kindal
B.K. = Berte Kindal
R.K. = Rickard Kindal (son of Magnus and Berte)
I just visited an Antique store that had a set of 7 never been used C.V. Heljestrand's, still had the oil on them. He wanted $750.00 for the set.
