Thread: Biedermeier Solingen H. Eicker & Sohne info

Could anyone give me info on this manufacturer please? Dates of operation? Thank you.

H. Eicker & Söhne was founded in 1908. As a manufacturer of slitting shears and tweezers, the company offers a wide range of innovative products and services.

I have 4 of their razors. They had three brands; Biedermeier, PAX, and Heartring. I believe the used primarily carbon steel but the did also have stainless razors as well. I am unsure if they still made razors after WWII or not, but I think not.

I have seen a PAX that was made after the WWII.

My mistake then! I was told by one of my razors' previous owners that H Eicker stopped producing razors after wwII. I was iffy about that though

Are you sure on the 1908 date... i has also seen a date of 1875 as their founding date.

Well i did find on different places 1908 as their founding year also found 1875 but only in one location, that said it is possible that the Eicker name was founded earlier put more then likely The Eicker & Sohne in 1908.

I think the date for 1875 would be his father. H Eicker was the sohne I do believe. Check out the Eicker site they are still active today just not in razors
