Thread: Le Grelot information needed...

ahoy folks...
i just bought this on a buy it now because i have always been interested in acquiring a grelot and i liked the looks of her. now that i've bought it, i can't find any information on this particular model and can't find another one like it. anyone know anything about this ol' gal?

exceptional le grelot et cie thiers (france) with box | eBay

Ive been trying to find info on this company but didnt find much as well i did find this picture and the one razor on the right look very similar
to the one you just purchase.

Nice looking razor, congrats.

I have not seen one like it either. Something that is very different to me on yours is that the word France is in parenthesis. Most of the ones I have there is a comma in between Thiers and France. The couple that do not have a place marked on them I think are older and they have Hospital instead of P. Hospital & Cie.

Let us know how you like it when it arrives. I think you will like it and if you don't like it then please shoot me a PM.

Wow, what I wouldn't give to find that box at an antique store...

A lot of things about this blade seem different than what I'm used to on the hospital grelots...(apparent) etching instead of gold wash...worked spine...France in parenthesis...what an odd little duck I've seemed to stumble on.

Thanks manah!

Have you ever seen one like I posted with the worked spine, etc? It seems like if anyone would have...you would be at the top of the list!
