Thread: C.F. Wolfertz & Co. "Dog Powered Razor Grinding"

If anyone else has a C.F. Wolfertz razor, which were made in Allentown PA under various reorganiziations of the company from 1862-1944, please post pictures of them! They were made of high quality American steel, and it is interesting that when C.F. Wolfertz first set up his cutlery factory, he used dogs to power the grinding wheels! I can only imagine the clatter of machinery and the cacophony of barking dogs, heard daily in the shop. Later he converted to steam. This piece of history came from an article in a free Google e-book called "Manufacturing and Mercantile Resources of the Lehigh Valley", which goes into much detail about the company operations and history.
