Thread: Another razor for the collection!

Picked this beautiful razor up from a local antique shop. Very little hone wear and overall it's in great shape! Can't find much information on it.... I'm sure it's going to be a great shaver!

Oooh pretty

Oh you dont want that one there's graffiti all over it. I can take care of it for you. That is a lucky find. I think my area is becoming depleted. Let us know how it shaves!

Antique shop finds are great and you did real good! There are lots of razors out there that don't have any surviving documentation so we fill in the blanks w/ our experience with the items. Put it into service and give us a review. I'd be surprised if it didn't give a great shave after a proper honing.

Once I get a decent hone job on it I'll let you know how it shaves. It's getting more and more difficult to find quality razors near me so I was very excited to get this one!

P.S....Because of the horrible graffiti all over it, I've decided to sand the blade clean and replace the scales.

What a delightful find in an antique store! Very nice razor-congratulations. Pearl King was a registered trademark of the International Cutlery Co. of 97-35 Alendale St. Jamaica 35, N.Y. They stamped Solingen Germany on the tang. The company existed from 1920-1940.

That address looked familiar: Pearlduck, Inc. 97-35 Allendale Street, Jamaica 35, N.Y. Same company different name?

Not the same address as Pearl King, but very interesting razor history anyway! Thanks for bringing this up.

I have a dubl duck barber shear box from that era that is in excellent condition. The address on it is Pearlduck, Inc., 97-35 Allendale Street, Jamaica 35, N.Y. Wish I had a camera and knew how to post pictures! Evidently these companies were related. I also have a razor with Puma on one side of the tang and Bresnick on the other.

Very interesting guys! Here are the reverse markings on the tang. The address is different than the one listed?
