    Default Anyone Know what year this Boker is from?

    Can someone help me out with a time frame of when this razor was manufactured? Is says GERMANY-ALEMANIA on the tang. Would that be consistent with 1950's?? Thanks

    There is a South American branch of the tree. So the stamped Arbolito and Allemania could be from there in the 20s-30s or newer. See the end of the link above, thanks to Del1r1um.

    I'm curious, why isn't a Böker from the 1950s marked W. Germany?
