    Default Help with age estimation

    Good day gentlemen

    could you help estimate approximate age of these razors?

    One is Le Grelot Le roi soleil, the second J.A. Henckels Zwillingswerk

    Thank you

    Daniel

    The Henckels is from between 1900 and 1969. Likely closer to the earlier part than the later part.

    I’m guessing 1950s for the Le Grelot, maybe early 1960s.

    That explains it. I was wondering how you got all the rust off without taking away that etching.
