I don't know much, but I can tell that it was part of a 7-day set due to the Wednesday on the scale.

Very pretty razor, and the bird looks like a kiwi to me. I found another photo of a Kiebitz, and the silver inlaid bird has a long beak and a big eye. Nice catch!

That's funny. I thought the face was pointing to the left with the ear sticking out to the right. :D

Time for new glasses.

That's a splendid razor!
I don't know much about it, but from the markings on the tang I think it came from Germany. However, since Wednesday is in English, it may have been assembled or intended for sale in the US in a seven day set.

I bet Manah or one of the other history buffs can tell you something more interesting.

Second time I try to find info about "Kiebitz" trademark.
Most likely, this trademark was used by Friedrich Emde, 1902 - 1939, Solingen, Kanalstrasse 51.

There is a razor in this thread that has scales which are very similar. Maybe made by the same manufacturer? :shrug:

Gebr.Emde is not Friedrich Emde.

Gebr.Emde - Gebrüder Emde, ie Brothers Emde.

This is a different company. Even if they are brothers. There is also EMDE Magnetic Silversteel. No brothers.

So:
Gebr.Emde
Friedrich Emde
EMDE

Well, This trademark was used by Gebrüder Emde, Emde Brothers(Emde Bros), Solingen-Weyer in 1925 and 1928, Deusbergerstrasse 69 in 1939.

P.S. Looking at the years of work, most likely, the company of Friedrich Emde became Gebrüder Emde. IMHO.

Can not agree or refute.
There is no evidence and information.
And this is also their company? Or another?

Just a little info update to this question. The bird (Kiebitz) used as the logo is a northern lapwing, and the reason that the days of the week are written in English is because they were made for the US market and were distributed by Fromm Bros. Cutlery from Newark.
Hope this helps somebody.

This is my Kiebitz
