    Default Good ole' U.S.A. made Top Flight...

    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.

    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!

    That was my first American razor. Well reviewed here, and why I got one. Good solid performer, you won't be disappointed.
