    Three or four years ago I got in touch with Clauss Shear Works and asked them when these were made. They told me that the newest catalog they had was a 1922 catalog. There offerings in straight razors dropped of considerably after WWI. They told me they believe these are from the 1890s but they could have been made under contract prior to WWI. Straight razors started to fall out of favor during WWI when the troops were issued double edge razors. This made shaving quicker - which was critical in achieving a good seal with a gas mask.
