Shumate Dollar

**GonzoBean** · 10-14-2014, 05:03 PM

Just picked this one up on Ebay. It doesn't appear to be in horrible shape, and it apparently has the wrong box with it. I bought it mainly because it was made in St. Louis (guessing prior to 1920?). I may have it restored, depending on what shape it's in. Nevertheless, to me it's a collector's item.

Nice razor GonzoBean.
Now you need to find razors from Simmons and Shapleigh.

Get that one restored. It will be a favorite in your rotation for life. I only have two Shumates, wish l had more.

Great score. Like previously mentioned it is nice too see something made in our country from back in the day. I would restore it but keep it old also. I only have a couple myself & I love them. They are great razors. I scored a Genco on the bay a week ago & still waiting on it. It is not far from new & I won it for $11.50 including a fold up case. Item # 181550025785. I can't wait to get it, anyday now! I have a Shumate from when they were first made in Austin, TX. Those are very hard to find. Most of them are from St. Louis. I keep looking for more from Austin being a Texan myself but they are rare! Please post some pics if you decide to restore it. I'm very interested in seeing it after!

Wouldn't you know it! Thanks to you I decided to look for a Shumate made in Austin & one was on here for best offer so I made the offer & won it. It isn't the best looking one out there but who cares, the Austin ones are very hard to find if you ask me. Fantastic Shumate Dollar, you made a hell of a deal even though I don't know what it ran you but I love it. Keep up the good work. You'll have RAD if you don't have it already!

Great to see you found a 'Texan!' I just happened on mine (I usually do a search, then sort them by what's ending soonest). I got it for $11.00. From what I can tell by the pictures, I can probably do most of the restoration myself with a buffing wheel and polishing compound. Will definitely post pics of before and after.

Thanks for the comments,
Jeff
