    Hamati bros is listed in the 1912 "American export trade directory".

    Hamati bros is listed in a few different directories around 1905 to 1923. So your German razor is more then likely from that era.

    Beautiful old razor, along with the fact that it was your grand father's makes it that much nicer.

    Family heirlooms are great!

    Welcome to SRP. Get that darlin honed up and learn how to shave like your grand father did.
