Straight Razor Randell Cut Co Bradford Pa.Very Good

When I saw this listing I knew it had to be a Crandall Cutlery before I even clicked on it. I was right & I kept checking it everyday. I still need to clean it up & hone it but the MOP really sets it off! The scales have a crack in 'em so I can either fix 'em or I'm really tempted to put some Ivory scales on it to match the MOP tang. I love it when someone posts something like this! Just very slight hone wear at the toe.

Good eye Steve. I have not found my wrapped tang razor yet.

Thanks Shaun. Crandall Cutlery was a part of the Case family & were made only from 1905-1912. It was Herbert E. Crandall who ran a jobbing house under the name of Little Valley Knife Ass'n 1900-1905 who later moved to Pennsylvania & was manufacturer under the Crandall Cutlery Co name. He married Theresa Case & later the Case family took over the Crandall Cutlery Co.

That's a great find. I suspect that those are probably not the original scales. The collars don't match and I don't usually see a covered tang with plain Bakelite scales. If it were mine I'd rescale it with something flashy. That MOP will go with just about anything.

Good eye BeJay. You are correct, the collars don't match. I have some Ivory scales that would dress it up very nicely & would match the MOP covered tang!
