Thread: WM . Olmsted

Found this and another straight this morning. The other will get its own post since this is the one I bought both of them for.

Never heard of this Manufacture before and came up empty in google searches. Hoping you guys have some info on it?
Looks like it is in decent shape except for a couple of spots of rust that should clean up well.

interesting razor. I am pobably wrong but it almost has a home made look to it , very well done BTW (not just the scales). Can't wait to see what it looks like cleaned up.

Found these two treads.

that is interesting, both the others have the same type of scales as yours.

The razor makes me think of my dad.
He served in the U.S. Navy during W.W. 2 aboard the U.S.S. Olmsted.

Yea I noticed that. I was thinking that the scales were replaced by someone along the line but now I am not sure.

Looks like a paired set once upon a time with the #1 and #2 stamps on the tang.

Yea but it looks like the other has much more of a smile to it.

You gonna love the shave off that once sorted. The smile will make you smile..

That’s an interesting find. I hope you get it all cleaned up with some scales from crazy cool material.
