Old Swedish Straight Razor
Found an a local estate auction, in a box with a note "Grandpa's razor"........its market on the blade "OLE BRO BOSTON 1883". Could this razor have been made in 1883, or earlier? Thanks

That may say Orebro, which is a Swedish city. That IS a swedish razor and most likely from that time period.

I don't think so. The razor was made more later. In 1883 was exibition in Boston and the company was award-winning.Could this razor have been made in 1883, or earlier?
Erik Anton Berg, 1879 - 1959. Etched on the spine: "PRISBELONT i MALMO 1881, ÖREBRO och BOSTON 1883".
Nice Swedish shaver=)

That's Erik Anton Berg from Eskiltuna. AFAIK "Prisbelönt" means it won some kind of award. Probably in Malmö and Örebro (towns in Sweden) and Boston (probably US). Very nice looking frameback.
