Thanks very much for posting these two catalogues, Alex. They answered some questions I have had for a long time; first, I wondered if bamboo pattern celluloid scales were ever sold on new razors, or if they were strictly aftermarket replacements-I was surprised to see them on new razors in the catalogue, but I can't argue with facts. (I hate those scales, though!) The second question your posting answered is what happened to straight razor prices after the introduction of Gillette safety razors around 1905. It looks like they went up considerably! My opinion is that these shavers cut into the German, US and Sheffield makers market share so much that they all raised prices to try and stay profitable. Any other opinions? Thank you again for these excellent posts!

I have a page of a Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett catalog very similar to one of those pages framed in my office right now!

I have a the Boker Damascus magnetic steel that's in the 1898 catalog. Also have some of the other pipe razors and wade & butchers, but I don't see a w&b with bamboo scales in the catalog. Could this one have been rescaled?
