    Actually, it's "Garver Razor Works". Which really makes me scratch my head considering that my step family are Garvers and I'm from the Pittsburgh area originally. I wonder if there's some sort of family connection...

    My best guess is that it must have been a local small business that operated during Pittsburgh's steel days. Considering that Andrew Carnegie didn't become a major player until the late 1880's, I'd say that this razor was likely produced somewhere in the early to mid 20th century.
