Good luck, sometimes these can be almost impossible to track down. Hopefully someone can help you out. Don't worry, I'll bet it will be a good shaver.
Cutlery manufacturer & importer in Lansing, Michigan. Circa 1904.
Bradstreet's, (before there was a Dunn & Bradstreet's), estimated their worth at 3,000 to 5,000 dollars- (approximately $70,000 - $100,000 currently).
Although an extremely small company, Bradstreet awarded them the highest credit rating available for a company their size.
So, although that doesn't give you any clue about the razors themselves, one could reasonably assume the company put out a quality product; given the rating they received.
Thank you very much for the answers gentlemen.
