Torrey production years

**Enigma** · 10-17-2009, 10:12 PM

As some of you have read, I mainly use Torrey razors. It just kind of happened that way.

But any way, can any one give me a clue about production years versus the stamp on the tang ?

One razor says: THE TORREY RAZOR CO.
WORCESTER.MASS.
U.S.A
and is deeply stamped into the metal

The other 2 say: THE TORREY RAZOR CO.
WORCESTER, MASS

The period at the end of MASS. and the U.S.A stamp are omitted. The letters look lightly stamped or etched into the tang.

any info would be appreciated.

I don't know about production years, but I have heard that the ones with the arrow through US were made for the military and the older ones with the bullwhip may be imported steel. Not sure if either of these two statements are accurate though. CarrieM knows a fair bit about Torrey's, maybe she'll chime in.

Not sure if this will help but you may find it interesting: Historic homes and institutions and ... - Google Books
