Thread: Manhattan Cutlery Company

1. I have a couple of Manhattan Cutlery Company Sheffield straight razors in good condition and most of the original box they came in. I've seen some of the history of the company posted on this site, which is very interesting and helpful. Can someone give me a ballpark figure of about how much they're worth?

2. I also have a Wade & Butcher Sheffield "The Celebrated Extra Hollow Razor" in good condition. This one is in the box it came in. The box says on it: Congress Best in the World, Koken Barber Supply Co. St. Louis. Can someone give me a ballpark figure of about how much it is worth?

3. I also have a Diamondine Germany V. C & Co in good condition. This one is also in the box it came in. The box says on it: Shumate Razor Co. St. Louis MO USA. Can someone give me a ballpark figure of about how much it is worth?

Sorry, but we don't do appraisals on this site. If you'd like to learn more about the razors, post some pictures and there's plenty of knowledgeable folks here to help you out.

Go to ebay and find sold items like yours.

+1 on that. You may have read the rules & missed that but it doesn't hurt to read them again. Like B.J. said, no appraisals are allowed on the forum. You might be able to find out on eBay like Dave mentioned by looking it up, then on the left side you will see completed listings & sold listings. Look under those also & it will show you any in the past that may have sold or ended.

Okay, thanks gentlemen. I would like to know more about them or more about the manufacturers and the companies that retailed them. Thanks again.

If learning more about them is your goal, the search bar in the top right is pretty useful. So is google.
