Thread: Can I find a razor which was manufactured in 1911-1912?

My son was born 24/12/2011, and as a man obsessed with razors, I decided that I wanted to present him on his 1st birthday straight razor which was manufactured in 1911 or 1912 years. Then this razor will be 100 years older than him when he was born. I would like to find nos or mint condition if it’s certainly possible.
As on razors do not usually put a year of production, can someone tell manufacturers, brands, models which was produced in such a narrow range? I think I can increase the time interval to 1909-1915
I would be grateful for any other tips which can help me to find such razor.

The only thing I can suggest is to find a razor that is specfically dated for an event. I've got one dated 1851 that celebrates the Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in London held that year and I've got another that is undated but celebrates Lindbergh's crossing of the Atlantic so I know it is either 1927 or perhaps 1928.

You could purchase a Damaskeene 1912 Single edge safety razor.

It isn't 1911 or 12 but ..... I read somewhere ..... and I cannot for the life of me find it .... that razors marked Wester Bros "Stone Co." were only mfgd in 1910. I have a couple and that is why I remember reading it. Apparently they changed the stamp and only used the "Stone Co" for the one year .... if it is true.

There are serial numbers for 1911/2 over here. Good luck.

Wow, thank you for your replies! I hope it will help!
I had think already about Damaskeene 1912, I will find one if I'm not succeed with straight razor.
And now I will try to find information about Wester Bros "Stone Co" and some specific events in this years!

Maybe someone can tell me more brands in this years, because view the entire database unreal)

Thinking of johnmrson's suggestion I found this site here. If you don't find any particular event they may have commemorated with a special razor you'll have some interesting reading.
