Tennis 55 Fritz Bracht 13/16 full hollow.
Tennis 55 Fritz Bracht Diamond steel 13/16 full hollow, this one dropped through the mail box yesterday just finished honing the razor can't see any hone ware I even doubt it's been used I estimate this to be early 1950s, lovely looking blade and three pin scales only needed a little polish came without the box so If anyone as one out there please drop me a PM.

It should shave great I used to have one just like it. Good grab, congratulations.

The etching that said Diamond steel on the blade was so weak and starting to fade with age I decided to polish it out with a little metal polish rather than leave it fade naturally.

Thanked: 118I love 13/16 width, full hollow Solingen razors but I prefer a round point myself. I have been looking for a Tennis brand razor made by Fritz Bracht to add to my collection. I love the butterscotch scales with the middle pin and inlaid logo.
I think I've read somewhere here that Tennis was like the higher end brand name to Dovo, like Lincoln is to Ford?

Jamie, that's beautiful!!!! I have a lot of coffin boxes but I don't think I have one for that one. I'll look but I doubt it. Great catch! I love 3 pin razors!!!!!
