Although I don't know too much about this mark, I have only seen a few threads and pics on the forum so I thought I'd add mine. Not the jazziest girl at the dance, but, from what I understand, a solid performer with possible U.S. history ties. I'm hoping you all will chime in and elaborate on a seemingly shadowed razor. Thanks for peeking...
I love my top flight, I have pics in my profile, on my phone now. I would love to find another. If I remember correctly they held a dod contract to provide razors during WII to our troops, maybe wwI? If you do a search in the bar above for flight club, I wanted to start a club for this underdog.
Nice catch, nothing wrong with her. Fancy don't shave any better than plain.

Seems well into the 50s on the DOD.

Wow had no idea it went that far. Thanks for the info.
Burrell Cutlery Co, 1941-1942. Located at 24 Rockwell Avenue, Elicottville, New York. Harold W. Burrell was president & they dealt mainly in razors. They used the trade mark, Top Flight. I got my information from the Goins Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings. Not made very long. You have an excellent piece there.
Checked out the thread. Actually, quite a bit of history from the posts alone. Neat stuff!Quote:

Oh, what a lucky man you are (Emerson, Lake and Palmer?)! I have one and it is a great, and I mean great shaver! Attachment 174813
