Thread: Looking for background on Burg Brothers Razor i just aquired

I found this razor for $18 at a antique show this weekend and think i did pretty good. Just wondering if anyone knows any history or details about the razor?

FINE looking razor. I like it.

I didn't find anything on this page.

The list that follows has been based on material extracted from the Deutsches Reichs-Addressbuch (1900, 1914, 1920, 1925, 1928, 1930 and 1939 editions); from Solingen und Sein Industriebezirk (published in 1922); Rasierklingen-Code (1932); Cutlery & Flatware, Made in Germany (1983); and the Adressbuch der Stadt Solingen for 1988/89.

The entries are currently based only on evidence gathered from the categories 'Rasierapparatefabrik' ('safety-razor maker'), 'Raiserklingenfabrik' ('razor-blade maker') and 'Rasiermesserfabrik' ('open-blade razor maker'). However, many of the razor makers also made pocket knives, bladed cutlery and tools, and—eventually!—the entries will be amended to acknowledge additional brand names and trademarks.

OBVIOUSLY according to the internet, your razor doesn't exist.

Maybe Neil or Manah can come up with some real information on that beauty.

That is about the same luck I have been having. There is no trace anywhere of info about it.

GOINS' guesses 1920-1960, Krumholz lists it as a common razor in his pricing. No listing in Doyle, or three other razor books.
