Know anything about this razor?

[yosh]

Hello all,
I recently acquired a razor from a local antique mall and I am having trouble finding any information about the maker/date/etc. Here are the specs:

One side of tang reads:
Ferd. Reiber & Bros.
McKeesport, PA.

The other side reads:
The L.F.H.E Razor (I think)

It is about a 4/8 hollow with a smile, black scales. I don't have my camera with me or I would post a picture of it. Any info about it would be appreciated.

Didn't see anything in "1000 Razors" but thats assuming the markings are the original maker.

Unfortunatly Pics go along way to ID work.

Here are some pics of the razor in question. I know, they are not great photos but they might give you an idea of what we are looking at. The razor is unique as the tang is stamped upside down (different than normal and I have never seen one stamped like this).
I like to know some background on the blades that I own so that is why I am wondering about it. I think I found some info on Ferdinand Reiber in McKeesport, PA. that placed him as a blacksmith in that area at the turn of the century. Straight razor shaving is that much better when you have a little history behind the steel, don't you think?

The best guess I can venture is that it was made between probably 1905 and 1915...looks like hard rubber scales. Dingy guys tried to be different by stamping it upside down lol.

Thanks for the info. That was about the time period that I had placed it in as well.
