Thread: C. Franke St Paul - Antique Store Find

Well, I found this at the antique store. I posted a question about it, but I thought I would post up some more pics in the 'S&T' sub.
The tang is stamped with "C. FRANKE ST PAUL". The blade is 13/16" wide and the spine was 1/4" (or maybe 1/32" under). Unfortunately, one of the one scales was cracked and tied with string. It came in a Wostenholm box, so I put it in the pictures as well.











And here is a less flattering shot taken close with the flash, so EVERYTHING is visible.

That's a good lookin blade!

the blade looks better in these photos, it must have just been the angle on the original pics, the scale should repair ok, there may even be members nearby who may be able to help.

Cool razor. I bet it is going to be a great shaver.
When I first saw these pics it reminded me of some of the Wostenholm Pipe and Wade & Butcher Bow razors.

I have a Henry Sears, a Torrey and an Anton Tadros of the same grind. All shave well!
The grind was popular.
