Thread: Crane Cutlery Co?

Hey guys,
I've been sorting through old posts in search of some information on Crane razors. I haven't been able to find much and they seem to only be mentioned a couple of times. Does anyone know anything about this company or their razors?

Thanks,
Santiago

I really can't help you here but there are two crane variants. the kissing cranes which are Robert Klass razors and the Crane Brand which is what I assume you have. I suspect they are a brand name with the razors made by someone else. Is there a country of origin on it?

By the way welcome to another New Mexican. There's just a very few of us here.

It's made in the US. I actually just purchased it from L&D. It's nice to finally see a response, thanks. So where are you from in NM? I've only run into one other person from here.

About 70 miles up the road from you.

Santiago, I like the Socorro area. I travel that way bound for Grand Junction, CO where my son has worked from. You have a friendly town.

I plan to attend the San Antonio, TX Gun/Knife Show Feb 14-15. I shall check for Crane Razors info. Sometimes I talk to razor savvy people there. They might even be SRP members. It has been way over a year since I have attended a show there. At that time I was taking time off from straight razors. I am back now and probably will stay with this pastime! Robert

Sounds like ABQ. You been shaving with a straight for a while?

Thanks a bunch. I am also very fond of this town. I've only lived here for a couple years while I go to college. Are gun and knife shows good places to find straights? Besides the internet, I haven't had much luck finding them.

I think Max Klass. He used trademark "Crane Brand New York N.Y." c 1896-1940.
