Thread: Antique store finds

I recently picked up two free razors at an antique store, both have damage, but fortunately not to the blade on either.

Both appear to come in what I assume are their original (paper? cardboard?) boxes, but I have no way to be sure of that, and no experience as to how old they could be.

Razor one:

Box says:
Gottlieb Hammesfahr Fabrik (picture of a pyramid with a + inside) Marke
Solingen - Foche

Razor is 5/8" and in good condition with slight coloring along the edge and minor rusting at spine and pin. point slopes from spine to edge like a ski-slope (french point I think, but I wasn't sure) on the tang is printed Gottlieb Hammesfahr Solingen - Foche, and on the reverse is the number 27.
The scales seem to be a black plastic of some sort, with a white spacer and beveled edge, and are broken away on one side above the pin.

Razor two:

Box says:
Gottlieb Hammesfahr Fabrik (picture of two rings crossing at the bottom edge) Marke
Solingen - Foche

Razor is 13/16"(technically incorrect I suppose, but that is it's measurement) and has severe rusting all along it's length, particularly at the tang and pin. the edge is untouched, however and has a round point and some minor scratching. the makers mark is obscured, but seems to read

...elix
solingen (assumed from the actual mark of "...ingen")

scales are rounded and made of some sort of black plastic, and have the number 127 carved (after factory) near the bottom pin. They appear to have rust on the inside.



Anybody have any idea as to when or where or by whom these were made?
