I was just at the Oshawa Flea Market on Taunton Rd and found these two Razors. #1: a "Infallible" J.Curley & Brother in its original box. #2 a "Our Own" H.Boker & Co also in a Boker Box. I Payed $20 for each of them.

Good Find, nice razors.
Very nice. Congrats on the nice find.
so from what i can tell the J.Curley & Brother would date between 1864-1921. This is a huge Gap that this razor could have been made. Anyone have more info about this razor? It does have the street address marked on the tang 134 &136 Nassau st New York.
Really nice score you never know what you are going to find at flea markets

Cleaned up the razor. Change the scales from the plain blace to this. Honed up to be one of my better shavers.
Great period choice. Nicely done.

I've got that same Boker blade out in the tumbler right now; looking forward to scaling and honing it.
The tail on that Curley is spectacular!
That curley blade is a wise guy.

Ok just finished shaving with the J.Curley and I have to say it is going into my rotation. WOW what a awesome shaver.
Now I have to figure out what razor to remove.
