That era of American razors is pretty impressive.
I do not have many, and most are from Little Valley.
Nice find Tom. I was trying to find this thread today to post my American find, but could not locate it. I got it now!
TBH, Rez, it is amazing at how many importers of German goods switched to American makers during wartime. I have a few of Wester Bros razors which are not German-Made, but USA from that period.
It's interesting how things ebbed and flowed.
Case followed the path of least resistance, it seems!
That's the cutlery business!
Funny you should mention Case as one of the Little Valley razors I have is a Case.
A Case is a Case! Some were German-made. WR hung it out as long as he could.
A good percentage of Case razors were from Germany as I understand.
I think a lot of it is how much stock was in before war was declared.
Some went on. They went all-American. Some dedicated it to the wartime scrap.
Some actually held onto it in case it went the other way.
The cutlery trade's last days, IMO.

Expected to come in Thursday. Not sure of the condition, but the price was manageable. Buerger Bros. Supply Co., Denver, Colorado. Leather marked "Imported / Walnut shell / Special Tan". "Solid Woven Genuine Silk Finish" on the canvas.
Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male. As it has been discontinued I got a big bottle to back up my smaller one before the price goes up and stock runs out
Just got in from my regular hitch and I had a special care package waiting for me.Attachment 290348
