    Default Malhami Moshy & Rahaim Razor

    I inherited a simple Straight razor, that was my mothers, fathers i guess. I have researched the name below, but nowhere can I find those names together. Malhamai and sons operated a shop in New York, in 1904, and Moshy & Rahaim operated a shop in New York between 1902 and 1906. i can't figure out when the two got together, but As far as I can tell this may be a rare occurance. It is a Celebrated Uncle Sam Razor No. 107 Any input would be helpfull and appriciated. Thanks.

    Well since no one has any input i guess this thing is an odd ball. I'm still searching.

    I believe, you're on the right way.
    Malhami & Son - George Malhami, a citizen of Turkey, his son Gabriel Malhami, a citizen of US.
    Moshey & Rahaim - the owners were Joseph Moshey(Moshy) and Sheki Rahaim, citizens of Turkey.
    Two companies were the import agencies. Many German companies worked/work with Turkey. So, most likely, citizens of Turkey made the cooperative "Malhami, Moshy & Rahaim". IMO.
