Thread: Utica Knife History Please help

My Uncle just gave to me a Utica Knife Co Red Point Razor that was his Grandfathers. Great-Grandfather Alvin was a Barber in Reading PA at the turn of the 20th century up to 1951.
I was wondering if anyone here has information on the history of this razor. It is a Yellow scale with an inlay in brass that says Red Point Razor. It has silver colored bolsters and three pins (one in the middle of the scale.) On the tang it says Red Point Made in Germany, and the number 917. On the other side it says Utica Knife and Razor Comp. Utica NY.
It came from my Uncle in a red box that says JR Torrey Razor Co. Worcester Mass. I am guessing the box is not related to the razor.

Any information would be helpful
Thank you in advance.

Utica Knife & Razor Company - 1924-1935.
Located in Utica, NY at 209 John Street about 1924.
In that year the Mailman Bros., Joseph L., Abraham L., and Samuel began using the trademark "Pal". Otto E.Kraus was advertising and sale manager.
In 1924, they displayed a full line of "Red Point" razors and pocket knives. By 1935, the manufacturing plant was in Plattsburg, NY and went by the name Pal Cutlery Company.

Thank you so much. The first one looks just like mine, except mine the Red Dot is missing. I will be searching for one to buy. I don't want to attempt to restore my Great Grandfathers, I will leave it just the way it is. I may hone it and use it once in awhile. It is pretty clean, just a few issues, the worst being a bad frown on the edge.
Thank you again.
