That Genco is interesting to me. I can't post pics right now, but I have a "Ladwig's Special" from the Milwaukee Barber Supply Co. That is the EXACT same razor. Aside from the makers mark. Exactly the same in every way from the color of the scales to the gold wash. I'm certain enough after seeing your picture there and knowing that Geneva Cutlery/Genco was the largest U.S. manufacturer of razors at one time that Genco must have produced that Ladwig's Special. How could it be any other way?
Very cool. It's like putting pieces of a puzzle together.

Nice catch!
I'm probably heading to California this Saturday. I'm looking up antique shops and I'm coming up with zilch.
Where was this flea market?
