info and estimated price on this razor?
From Goins Cutlery Markings...
A.F. Bannister & Co.
c 1884-1915
The firm of Bannister & Clark did business under the name "A.F. Bannister & Company". They were in Newark, New Jersey. The main item of trade was razors.
A.F. Bannister began in the cutlery trade in 1851 at the age of 14 in Sheffield, England. He later relocated to Newark. In 1914, a fire in the plant caused $35,000 damage
I wanted to see if any of you guys have ever seen this style or know more info than what i got from my neigbor, i have seen a few razors before but nothing pink like this one i have not cleaned it because i dont want to disturb anything

Nice razor but I don't have any info to share on it. Also, we do not do valuations on this site so please refrain from asking.

Welcome to SRP. Nice razor. Would probably hone up to be an excellent shaver. I'd be careful about metal polish on that one. Might remove the color out of the etching on the blade. Here is the SRP Wiki beginner's guide if you're thinking of "going straight".
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
