Thread: 13/16" Clenola 16 N.A.P. Co. N - Any information available?

Can anyone help?

I'm striking out with AI platform for information on this particular straight razor. I've attached a couple of photos. The blade has some water-spot pitting but no rust so maybe a nice little restoration project. However, I'd like to find some background on the company.
Razor has an image stamped in backside tang that indicates a manufactured razor by Fisher. It appears that Fisher made the razor for N.A.P. Co. N.......I suspect the razor model itself was the "Clenola 16", but I can't confirm. Would love to be able to confirm if my suspicions are correct or not.

Thank you for any help and for checking out this thread.

Welcome to SRP. Maybe tell us about yourself in the "new member introduction" thread. You can find that in the "beginners," section. That way we can get to know you.

Not sure exactly what you want to know. It sounds like you already have most of the information. It is German made from "finest silver steel." That means it is probably a pre-war (WWII) piece. Since the marks are in English it was made for most likely American but definifitely English speaking market. That is where I would search for N.A.P. Co. or whatever it happens to be (that looks like it could be an R instead of P. I would try to search that) who was probably a cosmetics company, barber supply or habadashery that had Fischer make razors with their name. It was like Kenmore or Craftsman name brands who didn't actually make anything. That doesn't mean it's not good. In fact quite the contrary. Those two chose companies they felt made good products. Fortunately they put their stamp on it so you know it was Fischer. Honestly that is the more pertinent information. The contractee was just a distributor.
