So my dad is retired and enjoys visiting antique shops and estate sales and he is always on the lookout for straight razors/hones/etc for me. He found a NOS 7 day set of Mitchell's of Manchester straight razors but I can't seem to find any information on them. Anyone have any information on this? I did a search on the forum and Google no dice.
Further information: after further questioning the maker is: Mitchel & Bros, Manchester
Thanks!
Tim
Might be in MI or likely in England. Mitchells is a retailer. Manchester the city.
Made by who knows unless a maker's mark is present.
Pictures? Tang stamps, both sides.
Talked to my Dad again today - He is going to go back to the estate sale today to get some pictures (if it is still there). We will see, he is in his 80s and not the most tech savvy! He did further clarify that stamp on the tang was "Mitchell & Co" with Manchester underneath, the blades were etched. Totally understand that these razors may have been made by a third party and the name on the tang may mean nothing. Hoping there might be more information on the case of the 7 day set.
Guess I'll never know - The set was sold when he went back to look! Oh well!!
It happens to all of us some times. I have learned the hard way that if you really want something like that, just get it right away. You'll get the next one!Quote:
