Antique Store Kinfolks "Real Redpoint" Razor
Bumped into this one at lunchtime today.
Mint, it does not appear to have been used.

That is a real treasure! Looks like a 6/8, too. Kinfolks razors shave very well, and the Red Point is highly collectable. Congratulations.

Not doubting you here, but I wasn't aware the Kinfolks made a "Red Point" Many companies did so it is possible.. Could you post a close up of the tang or tell me what the stamp says????? Thanks in advance... I collect Kinfolks so if there is one out there I will be hunting for another
That is a great find either way, every "Red Point" that has passed through my hands has been a good shaving razor....

I wondered the same thing, but yesterday a collector in California who specializes in all brands of Red Point razors sent me pics of this Kinfolks.....talk about drooling! I don't have the back tang pic, but the stamp on the front is the same as other Case and Kinfolks razors I have owned, which says "made in USA, Not in Germany". What do you think?

Yes my razor on the other side of the tang says Kinfolk, made in the USA.
It's a 5/8ths BTW. And yes it is very exciting to find something like this amongst all the beat up stuff, she had three others that were just rusted out. The other Red Points I have seen are stamped made in Germany don't say Real Red Point like this one except for the one posted above and they also have number stamps like 971 or something of the sort.
