Great piece of information...
I live in Worcester and have several Torrey razors. They offer a great shave and can be bought at a reasonable price.
Wish the company was still around, they certainly make a mark in the razor market.

That is great info. Im in worcester a few times a month. Would love to get the address of where the factory was located.
I spent some time in Worcester in the '60s. The big factory was Norton's and IIRC it covered miles of ground back then. Like the Newark, NJ area, I think most all of the manufacturing is long gone from there.
Last year I picked up a Torrey printing block that I assume was used in printing adds.
So Torrey didn't make straight razors after the end of WWI?
Company was around until 1963.
