You are kidding right?
Didn't i see that on the Hall of Shame?
Its a "busted", German made razor..!!
And that's all.!!
This was just an extra that came in a package the auction house did. I posted pics of a c.v.h. that I got with a raven hone and a few old boxes and another stone.I only spent 17.50 all together. I was just curious about the company as I couldn’t find any info.Quote:

It sure would make for a long shave with that shorty.Quote:

I guess you can rule out at least one year. The Iowa Barber Supply Co of Des Moines was not in existence in 1919. Your razor probably dates to the early 20th century, so that's where I'd concentrate my efforts if I was doing the search.
Best of luck.
