I was just looking through the historical information section and ran across,
ELGIN-AMERICAN MANUFACTURING CO.
Elgin, Illinois
1887 - circa 1950
Does anyone have a picture or own an example of their work??

I'd like to run across one of these, as my name indicates, I have a 1952 7.5hp Elgin (but I don't shave with it :eek: ), and my wrist watch is a 1929 17J Elgin!! :D... Sure would be nice to have an Elgin straight as well...
My family's from the Chi-town area, and I've only seen one Elgin razor on the bay...it was rough. Would appreciate a pic as well.
Peace,
Jim
ElginRunner: What is your 7.5hp Elgin? I think my dad once had a snowblower that was an Elgin, but I can't remember for sure.
I want one too!
I don't live in Elgin, but it's close enough.

We're fairly sure you're looking at gold plated scales here. I'll follow up later as I can scrounge some more information on the manufacturer. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy the pics. :)
