Thanked: 0inherited blades
Hi all, just signed up here and this is actually a re-post because I put it up in the member introductions too but thought I might have a better chance getting a response in here. I've got a couple of razors I inherited which sparked my interest, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with them short of take them out every once in a while and look at them...
The boxes I have for these are labeled:
1) Gullatt Razor Co.
Union City, GA
with the "top" part reading:
Novelty
Cutlery Co.
Canton O.
and 2) Quality
Wilbert
Guaranteed
and the top as :
Specially Hand-Forged
Best Sheffield Steel
Price: $3.50.
My guess is that these are both around 80-100 years old. Anyone familiar with these brands/blades and have any input? The handles seem to be just cheap plastic, but the one that came in the Wilbert box and has American Beauty on the blade itself and Silver Beauty on the base part of the blade (pardon my ignorance about the different parts of the razor...) seems to be pretty solid and in decent shape. I'm trying to determine if these are worth spending some money to restore/clean/sharpen and maybe even get a new handle for. Any thoughts at all appreciated!
