Thanked: 0Birch & Cubbedge, rebranded Boker?
My wife and I were checking out an antique mall that has recently reopened and I found this little beauty.
I found several other nice razors that I'm going to have to go back for but I couldn't turn this one down since it's labeled the city I live in, Macon, GA. I also saw what looks like the Boker logo on the scales.
It also came with the matching coffin.
I've searched around and the best thing I can find is that Birch & Cubbedge was a hardware store in town at least around 1907. I don't know how long before or after that it was open but I do want to find out. It's really neat to find a razor with a nearby historical connection. Also, I don't think it was a bad deal for $20.
My question to the experts here is do you think it's a Boker that was rebranded for this hardware store or do you think someone just put some Boker scales on it?
