Craftsman - Sta-Sharp???
I've got this Craftsman recently but by looking at it, it looks identical to a Sta-Sharp. It also has the collarless pins. I love it. I love the translucent scales on it. It also has it's own protective sock which then slides into the box.

Thanked: 495Shes a beauty
I don't see as many of the Craftsman models as I do the Sta-Sharps in the market. I never had the opportunity to obtain the Craftsman. One day I hope I shall.

I believe Koeller made the Sta-Sharp for Sears for a time. Ern also made razors for them, among a couple of other Solingen outfits. Yours is different from the Sta-Sharp in that other thread in that there is no decorative strip running across the tang, just ahead of the stabilizer. I have one of those as well. I also have an old Sears & Roebuck Sta-Sharp with the Sta-Sharp logo on the tang, and on the scales. It has the "Distributed by Sears & Roebuck, Chicago, Illinois" on the reverse tang, and the original Sears box has 'Kayser Ellison Steel' on it. I have basically the same razor marked Koeller instead of Sears. So there are different versions from different periods of time.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
