I was wondering around this antique mall this morning and came across this a boker and company there is more on the tang but can't read it cleary this scales a alittle loose and there is some staining on the blade and suface rust around the tang I thought I might try to clean it up and rescale it.I got this for a grand total of about 10 bucks after a lil haggling
I think it says "G E R M A N Y" on the tang under Boker
that's a nice blade style :tu
I just got an almost identical Torrey, in nearly the same shape
but I paid $13 :rant:
talk about ripped off !
I keed I keed......
nice razor and good luck cleaning it up
Found one similar Saturday. At one time someone loved this Boker enough to whittle scales out of something like a broom handle (to be expected in the mountains of east TN) . Not in too good of shape but I thought it was worth 10 bucks.

Nice catch!! :tu Antique shop finds are the best. Ya never know what you will find or how much it will cost. There are treasures out there to be had for a song. For the few bucks most of these razors cost I get hours of enjoyment cleaning them up, restoring what needs to be restored and putting an edge back on them. When I finish I am very happy, most of the time, with my investment. I'm sure your Boker will make a great shaver and provide you with the same enjoyment I receive with my finds.
You have your work cut out for you good buddy. Hope it works out for you. Should be fun.Quote:
