Who's Logo is 2 figures together???
I just got a razor, it's kind of unidentified, but the maker's mark looks like 2 men standing together. I've seen this somewhere before, but just can't put my finger on it....
It's an Army Special razor it looks like it's an 8/8 maybe, just a shade smaller maybe. But the importer (Sears, Roebuck, etc.) only imported these from 1921-1928 under the brand 'Wilbert'. When trying to identify the real manufacture, I came across the 2 men symbol.
Any ideas???? I know it must be a common one..
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance!!!!-- Any day I get out of bed, and the first thing out of my mouth is not a groan, that's going to be a good day --

If they're two men, it's likely to be Henckels. On the other hand, I have no idea if Sears had anything to do with them.

Kobar is another one. Two fat guys shaking hands. You know that was a vintage logo. Nowadays with the health consciousness they'd be skinny. The Henckles looks like dancing men IIRC.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

If they are very stick figure-ish men that are sorta drawn together then its a J. A. Henckels razor

Hammer, can you elaborate on that?

Guys, I screwed the pooch on this one terribly. Somehow I had 2 razors confused as 1. The Wilbert is indeed the Army special, and it's not a henckles. However, the razor in question turned out to not be a henckles at all...
I was dissapointed, but it was the one that got away that had the 2 dancers. I was bummed.....
