Thanks that pretty much sums it up as far as how old they are and what I needed to know.
Thanks!!
I had one once; a 6/8 full hollow. She took a hell of an edge.
Good deal. I saw one that looked brand new and I low bid. I should have gone higher. It went for $35!!!
Better late than never...
German manufacturer for FINEDGE OSTISO N.Y.C. was Peter Altenbach & Söhne SCHWANENWERK (SWAN WORKS) in Ohligs-Solingen.
I recently got one very old ORIENT RAZOR of them:
