First ones to my collection
I picked these up today. From what I can tell they look to be good. They'll need some honing. The Yellow one says Curtin & Clark Cutl Co, St. Joseph MO. The black one is labeled George Wostenholm & Son's, Cellbrate I XL razor, Wostenholm's Hollow Ground. Whats your thoughts on this find?

Look clean. Bottom one overjoyed at toe but still very useable. Get them honed and enjoy.

Nice finds! I like the grind on the Curtin & Clark, neat looking razor. The best I can find from a few quick searches is they were a hardware wholesaler and were at St. Joseph from 1898-1909 then moved to Kansas City until 1920. Apparently they sold knives and flatware also, but their knives may have been manufactured by Tidioute Cutlery (PA). Makes me wonder who made the razor. Not sure, maybe someone more knowledgeable will be along soon enough.
