I got this razor in today. I like the way that they abbreviated the word hardware. H'DW'E. Of course I did the obligatory search and didn't find anything posted about razors for them. I did find out that A.M. Gardener himself was kind of a big shot in the hardware business in the Northeast and was on some boards in the hardware association back in like 1915.

It's obviously a contract razor. I'm pretty sure that's a 67 at the top although the 6 isn't all there. I did a search for that and didn't come up with much either but it looks like an ERN to me. They did a lot of contract grinding and it has a very hollow grind for the period like many of the ERNs do.

It's in pretty good shape and doesn't seem to have much wear. A lot of the blade left to work with. I'm hopeful after some cleaning and some other love It will turn out to be in the "no name and pleasant surprises" category.

Any thoughts???????
