Thread: Boker I.D. help?

I would agree that it looks the closest to the 1900 tree but its still slightly off. My branches on the far left bottom conjoin at the trunk. Whereas all the other Boker trees i've come across so far have a branch and then the smaller branches stem off.

Could that be just that a stamp slipped?

And whats the Model of this razor? A "Trade Mark"?

There are plenty of trees to look at

The "Trade logo Mark" and no Germany or Made in Germany would make me vote for Pre 1891 - or what would have to be one of the oldest Boker's I've seen.

And yet none of them match mine exactly

I have an old 6/8's king cutter, round point, and have never been able to find an exact match on it either. The closest to mine is 1930's ish.

All trees are different. To identify a tree, you must go to the tree most like it. That tree shall be your tree. Pretty sure that's how it's done!

Good to know! That clears up that question. Thanks for all your help guys. This forum is great.

Still wondering if anyone would know the model name?
And less importantly what this is worth now? restored?

Well, there are rules against evaluations, But I would say you got a smokin deal!

Thats good enough for me.

Now to learn everything I can, read every post, and watch every video before I go and put this thing to my throat... That is after I find someone to hone it for me (and hopefully teach me how to).

Well, you are in luck! Lootsa Canadian guys near you, I think!
