    Default World's Fair 1893

    I was thrilled to find this Hibbard, Spencer and Bartlett World's Fair this weekend.
    Excellent condition!

    Really nice piece of history and still in immaculate condition.

    Unicorn with sparkles and rainbow mane and tail.

    My wife thought it may have been a replica or counterfeit.

    A google search for World's fair razor came up with one other HSB and it was in much worse condition and no box.
    Mostly Boker's showed up and one Imperial Razor.

    You could start a collection of 1893 Chicago World's Fair razors. I have seen many from many makers.
    In fact, there are folks who collect anything from that event. LOTS of interesting items.
    It was likely bought as a souvenir which explains it's unused condition.
    Nice find!
