Thread: Anyone know much about Landers, Frary & Clark razors?

Celluloid has been around since the 1870's.

LF&C made some fine cutlery in their day. Their pocket knives are pretty collectible and are very well made with good steel. They also made knives and bayonets under contract to the government in WWII.

There is a quite a bit of interesting information about that company on the web if you're interested in reading further.

'Had 2, and got another today at the antique show - a Universal. They've been excellent shavers.

This all is making me impatient to receive mine!

Wullie: Where are you finding info? All the info I have really been able to find so far is pretty much what Manah posted. Haven't been able to find anything in regards to their razors, just the general timeline of their history.

Well?

There's the toaster saga;
The Saga of Landers, Frary and Clark
Which gives insight to the beginning and the end of the company.

and then there's this;
New Britain Industrial Museum » Landers

How about whistles?
Whistle Museum: James D. Frary American whistles, American Whistle Manufacturers & Patents,Pocket Knife Combinations,(3) , A .Strauss

Try Landers, Frary, & Clark

Got all that from a post I made re: some pocket knives at another forum a while back.

Guess my rememberer ain't what it used to be. I thought there was more on the web. I apologize.

The company was very innovative for its time and has an interesting history outside of the cutlery end. I've got a couple of their old pocket knives and they are very well made with some great steel in the blades.
