Sears Selfhoning Razor

Hello All,

I was hoping to gain some insight to a newly acquired razor. It was given to me from my father-in-law and it was his grandfather's razor. I've tried to find some information on the razor but I am not having much luck. One side of the tang has "Sears Selfhoning" and the other has a U.S. patent number and on the spine it has "Sears 1865" It's not on the list of brands to avoid so I am wondering if anyout there has one of these in their collection? Here are a few pictures, I apologize for the quality of the pictures, don't fully comprehend how to use the wife's camera. Thanks in advance.

you might try running a patent search for that patent number - you should find some info

I shave with an older Sears. Mine isn't marketed as a self-honing razor, but it's a legitimate vintage brand

I have one or two old Sears razors kicking around somewhere. They all shave pretty well IMHO.

If that razor is self honing it should be ready to go...Right?:rofl2:
