Thread: American Cutlery Germany

I've had this for a number of year and don't know much about it, wondering if you folks could help.
The razor is made by Atlantic Cutlery of Germany, white handle that is yellowing with age. Light blue wash over the eagle and stars. I have also managed tore serve the original box as well. I am interested in it's vintage and if any one can provide a value.
thank you in advance.

Welcome to SRP

For every thing except the valuation there is someone here that will have a good idea. I do think that it has nice looking scales that are almost certainly made from celluloid. The yellowing is indicative of the celluloid starting to brake down, to avoid more breakdown avoid UV light, chemicals, and heat.

About the value we don't do valuations to avoid hurt feelings and other un - gentile behavior. One person may think it is very valuable but someone else may strongly disagree. However Ebay's completed listings is a easily accessible way to research the value.

Here are a few threads that may help you.
American Eagle Stars and Stripes Razor Geneva Cutlery Co. Does anyone have any info

Well on reading those threads they were not so usefull.

But maybe it is related to This Yankey Cutlery razor currently on ebay. Or prehaps this one from Clearwater Cutlery.

I would guess that the scales were made by one company but used by several.

Can you tell us exactly what is written on the tang.

Atlantic Cutlery Company,Wiebusch Import, Germany 1898-1914. Thats its vintage, as far as value, we dont do evaluation on SRP.

Thank you all for the information!
