Thanks...here you go...

Nice set of scales.
Unmarked vintage razors are near impossible to tell where they were made, shy of being very distinct. There used to be many many makers. Some sold unmarked blades to be marked by resellers. Barber suppliers, hardware chains and big stores and hotels were amongst those that had blades marked for them. Unmarked blades are not super common but untraceable for the most part.

My guess is Antoni Tadross, A New York importer.


Or not!

I been looking at antoni and he has done a few scales with flowers...mostly raised, the etching on the blade is quite ornate too
