That's a pretty one, full bladed too. I doubt anyone could say for sure but I bet it is early last century because of the pearl overlay on the tang. I've got one too but no pearl on the tang on mine. All vintage Bokers I've had the opportunity to shave with have been great.
The scales are very ornate as well, maybe faux tortoise shell.
Is that a dreadnought point?
No it is a Spanish point.Quote:

I've asked about it, because in the H. Boker catalog 1906 the similar razor has another model number - 2121:

And 1056:

So. In my understanding, your razor was made much later 1906.
Overall very nice razor.:)
okay! very nice. I have both of these razors in my collection. where did you run across this add at? thanksQuote:

Bokerblade you can find this add in the Boker Brotherhood club.
@mastermason03 very nice! I have a other boker right now that is just like the one I just posted ( same scales and tang) but the blade is not a spanish point . its like the top one you have! I have been thinking about selling it?
Here are my carved spines and looking for more!

Do the points on the spines make stropping a problem?
To be honest I have not done anything with these yet. these are for display only.but if I change my mind I dont think stopping would be a big problem if I put some electrical tape over the spine.Quote:

I actuall just found a 1056, but your find was much nicer, besides just being a higher end model.Quote:

Hellow and welcome to SRP. Sorry but valuations are not allowed in the open forums on SRP. Value is subjective to the buyer, seller and the market on any given day. If you are happy with the purchase than it was a good buy. Searching EBay for completed auctions can give you an idea on what razors are going for this week. Personally, I like the razor.Quote:

Sorry about the rules faux pas, but it being a decent deal was my feeling. I ran into a lot of antique/junk dealers wanting more for
other straights that were less interesting. I was looking for DE's, but I gave all the straights a look over too. The worked spine on this one is what caught my eye, not the name or any value. The translucent scales were kind of weird, too. Now that I've looked into it a bit I think it needs restoring and re-scaling with black scales. Too bad the real ones were celluloid.
