Geo. W. Korn Little Valley, NY
GEORGE W. KORN RAZOR MANUFACTURING CO.
Little Valley, New York
This factory made razors for many firms, including Case, Cattaraugus, and Sears & Roebuck
ca. 1900 - 1925
a nice find
Thanks, couldnt make out the GEORGE W. KORN on the razor, but now I can see it. Looks like the late Mr. Korn was a real innovator. What would the "Black Prince" been about??? just a model type??
Maybe George's alter ego?!?!?Quote:

Found this tid bit.......
"By the 1890s, thanks to the inventive genius of Americans such as George Korn and George Schrade, American made switchblades had become popular worldwide. ..."
